Chateau Pesquie always releases a superb rose, and their 2014 Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee des Terrasses is no exception. Made from 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Syrah, it leans heavily towards the fresher, leaner end of the spectrum, yet still stays balanced and enjoyable. Strawberry, raspberry, sappy pine and hints of flowers all emerge from this solid effort, and it will be a great meal starter over the coming 6-8 months.
