Nose has tangerine peel, raspberries, roses and under-ripe nectarine. Palate has candied orange, strawberry, orange pith/zest, mild acidity and lingering mineral notes to the medium finish. Blind, this is a Provence rose to me; nice effort in the cellar here. A steal of a deal when we got this for ~$14. 2018 Blend: 38.5% Grenache, 30.5% Grenache Blanc, 12.5% Carignane, 10% Cinsault, 6% Mourvedre, 2% Picpoul & 0.5% Vermentino

Extremely pale pink. Incisive red berry and citrus pith qualities on the nose, along with suave floral, spice and mineral flourishes. Lithe and sharply focused on the palate, offering tangy strawberry, red currant and orange zest flavors and a touch of honeysuckle. Finishes dry and taut, with resonating florality and persistent red berry and mineral notes. This wine's blend of depth and finesse is pretty impressive, especially in light of its price.

Everyone’s favorite wine from a vineyard visited by aliens, or was that balloonists? Yellow-salmon pink, excellent clarity. Strawberry note in nose. Strawberry followed by tart lemon flavors and minerality, slight skin astringency, dry. Banana-like aftertaste that evolves into lemon-grapefruit flavors. Sippable but plenty of acidity for food.
