Les Lauzeraies Tavel Rosé Blend

Deep watermelon pink (but a bit pale for a Tavel). Inviting nose of stony raspberry. Palate is full-bodied (belied by the color) and layered with black raspberry, stone, and bitter black cranberry. Medium plus acidity and a long dark finish. An inexpensive intro to the premier rosé-only appellation. Full-bodied and ready for hearty summer and fall fare. A bit heavy for greens or white fish; more at home where you’d take a lighter red. Drink now through 2029.
