Wine Review: This strawberry colored Rose from Tavel opens with a fragrant wild strawberry bouquet with hints of Maraschino cherry and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mild mineral influenced gentle watermelon with notes of white pepper and mild strawberry. There is also a hint of Maraschino cherry in the background. The finish is dry, refreshing and gets better with some air. This is a very nice offering to consider served slightly chilled at the beach. I would pair it with steamed mussels. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Its deep aromatic complexity and its very special balance are the hallmarks of a great wine. Slightly lighter in hue than previous years, its robe is a dazzling ruby color. The attack on notes of spice opens onto a cocktail of red fruit and white fruit. Gorgeous generous mouth where the wide diversity of aromas of fruits combines with a structure that defines the balance of this wine. Delicious with lamb curry, bouillabaisse or paella.
