This weeks Rosé is from Provence, France. This 2010 Mas de Gourgonnier les Baux-de-Provence is made from 60% Grenache and a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The color was a nice pale salmon which I like for a Rosé. The nose was minerally with hits of strawberry and distant notes of pear.
On the palate I found it chalk on slate. Flavors of strawberry, hints of cran-raspberry and lemon rind dance on your tongue. The finish was lingering of tart cran-raspberry with a trace of strawberry.
I felt the wine was reasonably balanced.
Price - $14.99 at Arlington Wines & Liquors
