description: Importer Bobby Kacher has a knack for finding great value rosés from the south of France, and this is a top example. Among Rhône Valley vignerons, the Gard, which lies on the western side of France's Rhône River, is known for its Syrah, so it's no surprise this is 100% Syrah, produced by the saignée method of “bleeding” a portion of the juice off the skins after a short maceration. The result is a medium- to full-bodied rosé with plenty of ripe red fruit, a hint of crushed stone and enough citrusy zip to impart freshness and length.
variety: Rosé
designation: Syrah
