An Australian imitation of Domaine Tempier’s superb dry rose, Torbreck’s 2005 Saignee Rose (100% Mourvedre) exhibits a light ruby color, surprising body and intensity (14.5% alcohol), and a dry finish. This rose depends on flavor, personality, and substance as opposed to sugar. Consume it over the next year. Importer: Deborah Gray, The Australian Wine Connection, Carlsbad, CA; tel. (760) 770-5446
