description: Washington D.C.-based importer Bobby Kacher has a veritable stable of bargain-priced rosés, but this one is among the least expensive. Although only a Vin de Pays, it's located in prime south-of-France rosé country, between Avignon and Nîmes. This blend of Merlot (35 percent), Syrah (25 percent), Grenache (20 percent), Mourvèdre, Carignana and Cabernet Sauvignon offers slightly floral scents alongside hints of crushed stone, while the flavors lean toward rose petals and raspberries with a squirt of lime juice. Silky on the finish, with tangy acids for refreshment.
variety: Rosé
