A solid rose, the 2012 Gigondas Romane Machotte Rose is a stainless steel-aged blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Cinsault and 15% Syrah that’s made mostly from direct press, with a small part from saignee. Perfumed and juicy, with plenty of spice, orange rind, mineral and strawberry-styled fruit, this medium-bodied, fresh and elegant effort should be enjoyed over the coming year or so. Drink now-2017.
