The 1996 Tavel Rose may appear expensive, but this is a terrific rose. Made from a blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 10% Cinsault, this wine exhibits a medium deep salmon color, followed by delicious jammy strawberry and bing cherry aromas, along with earthy and spice notes. Revealing excellent ripeness, and palate impacting fruit and glycerin, this dry, medium-bodied rose is full of flavor and character. Drink it over the next 8-10 months.Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel (540) 888-7939
