Ah… Tavel… the only appellation in the Rhone Valley to produce nothing but rose wine. Not just any rose, either - Tavel is considered by most of the “cognoscenti” to produce the finest rose in all the world! It is also one of the few that can actually age, and improve with age! Often, I find myself putting my Tavel away for a year before consuming! Of course, that requires me to buy more than I will drink on the first weekend of having it!

“Gorgeous Tavel dresses in a thousand shades of pink to seduce and captivate the senses.” Random quote I think is cool…

This is absolutely classic Tavel. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Syrah offering a deep cherry-red color, the wine draws you in notes of raspberries, wild strawberries, a hint of orange blossom and minerality. A tangle of briary fruits envelopes your senses as you dive in for a sip – blackberry and raspberry – especially the wild variety, with their brighter acidity and ripe/tart balance! Hints of Provencal herbs on the finish bring it all together – this is a wine of place… of the earth… of terroir! This begs to be drunk outside – 85 degrees and sunny on Saturday! Perfect! Some olives and cheese while you fire up the grill. Then marinated chicken thighs… some little fingerling potatoes… oohh and fresh spring onions! Yum!
