2010 Bodegas Bleda Castillo de Jumilla Monastrell Rosé
Made from 100% Monastrell (Mourvčdre) grapes. A fresh bouquet of cut strawberries, garden herbs, and zesty citrus leads to flavors of ripe berry and red cherry, which sail over the palate before coming to a crisp and commendably dry finish. Subtle undercurrents of light mineral and earth persist on the aftertaste. Because Monastrell has robust varietal character, this rosado packs a lot of flavor.

2010 Skouras Zöe Rosé
The Peloponessos has a history of vine cultivation probably dating back some 7,000 years. The 2010 "Zöe" Rosé is a blend of Agiorgitiko (which the winery translates on the back in English as "Saint George") and Moschofilero. Like a lot of young pinks made with Agiorgitiko, this is immensely appealing for its aromatics and it is also intensely flavorful in its youth. Dry but very fruity, its cherry fruit notes and reasonably good depth follow the intense aromatics. It is very tasty, an exuberant pink in full flight at a pretty good price point, a classic picnic wine. It clocks in at just 12% alcohol - and in the summer in particular, low alcohol is nice. Drink now-2012. - Robert Parker. - This pretty, medium-cranberry-colored rosé from Domaine Skouras in Greece's Pelopponese is lively but not flimsy. It features earthy, mouthwatering flavors of raspberry and spice, set aloft by playful acid and citrus undertones. Like many of Greece's affordable white and rosé wines, this quaff is food-friendly and refreshing. Perfect for a warm-weather lounge and paired with nearly every dish imaginable. Think a pasta with spicy red sauce or a more delicate seafood entree.

2010 Sinskey Rosé
This vintage is sold out - this is the last - Pastel pink color touched by a bit of orange tempts the eye. Aromas of wild strawberry and lime mingle with just a hint of sweet herbs. Those berries burst on the palate joined by zesty but puckerless notes of cranberry and the part of a watermelon just beneath the pink fruit. There's a delicious savory note as well that reminds you that this is Pinot Noir. The wine is notably rich in the mouth, but with its ample cut it provides the sort of extreme refreshment that makes the urge to guzzle it all down tough to resist.
