Reviews:

"Another terrific Rosé, the 2015 Cotes du Rhone Rose la Dame Rousse is similar to the Tavel la Dame Rousse, yet is slightly more fresh and focused. Wild strawberries, citrus, mineral and underbrush all emerge from this layered, elegant, gorgeously balanced Rosé that has the freshness to stand on its own, yet the richness and complexity to go perfectly at the dinner table. Drink it over the coming year or so. - Jeb Dunnuck"

Bright pink. Intense aromas of fresh red berries, blood orange and pungent flowers, given urgency by a chalky mineral overtone. Sappy and penetrating, offering bitter red currant and berry skin flavors that flesh out with air. Rich yet vibrant in character; finishes minerally and very long, displaying lingering florality. - Josh Raynolds"
