The 2019 Cotes du Rhone Rose is 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cinsault. Darker-hued than the IGP rosé, it's also fuller-bodied, as it's produced as a saignée of riper grapes intended for production of red wine. Round and creamy on the palate, it finishes with admirable length and power, plus a savory bit of peppery spice. Think of it as an alternative to Tavel.
