Produced via the saignée method, the 2017 Cotes du Rhone Rose is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Counoise and 10% Syrah. It's a ripe, rich style of rosé, almost Tavel-like in weight and richness, with bold cherry flavors, a full-bodied palate and a long, silky-textured finish. It should drink well through the winter and into early 2019.
