Tremendous value here.  Rosé de saignée with a deep pink coloured blend of Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvedre, Syrah, Counoise and Grenache with delicate aromas of peach and violets.  Easy-drinking and easy to match with all types of food.  "Saignee" method.

MAS DE BOISLAUZON "LA CHAUSSYNETTE" - $12.99

  

Another value from a great Rhone winery,  this "Vin de France" 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah (typical Cotes-du-Rhone blend).  Vibrant pink, medium weight. 

 

  

       

 

 

Wow, Bandol comes to Washington state!  From the Wahluke Slope, fermented cold to retain delicate rose petal... great "flinty" character.  Great value, and a nice looking bottle.  Truly Bandol-inspired at a fraction of the price, it sold out first round and we got a bit more.   

  

 

    

     

Joseph Mellot is a Loire Valley producer I discovered while visiting France a year ago.  The "Sincerite" is lovely 100% Pinot Noir.   Loire wines show nice minerality.  Did I say lovely?  

  

  

  

  

  

     

    Beautiful wine; beautiful bottle, just right for your "company over on the patio".  One of our best-sellers in recent years, direct press of 70% Grenache and 30% Cinsault.  Rose petal, white peach and melon, clean, elegant and hard-to-resist personality.

  

Made by the Perrin family (Chateau de Beaucastel) and selling out very quickly.   Say hi to Brad and Angelena for us.
