Jean-Luc Colombo
Cape Bleue Rosé Blend
Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Provence, France
Not that I’m writing a Rosé column or anything but how about a gratuitous Monday Rosé (Monday-rosé sorta rhymes) theme? I’ll contort with whichever pink I find worthy? I’ll try to be discerning. This delivers more than its price tag. It has a whiff of the rich fun of Tavel with some of the bright acid fun of Southern France and like do we care..(I do care but I like people who tell me things so you can feel free to tell me what to think I may say cool but I know better though) but lest you do not wanna think a bunch: There is peach Melba (aka there are vanilla-raspberry notes too) on cool wet stone. This is a pal. You wanna meet its buddies aka are there more Colombo mysteries to be solved? Is that a decent metaphor? or am I just prepping too hard for the Colombo-themed storytelling show I’m in this weekend?

For the price, you cannot beat this. It fills your nostrils with raspberries and cherries, a touch of watermelon and strawberry. The palate has a nice mineralty and a salty brackishness that I enjoy. Great stuff!

Classic Provence style- raspberry, peach, and some lovely stoney minerality. Light, crisp and refreshing. For the price, a bottle it's hard to imagine a better South of France rosé on the market

Great thanksgiving wine! Perfect to sip on while cooking, will go with the smoked turkey, and a 3 liter should last a little while.

Loved it, surprisingly smooth and silky.
Great floral taste.
