"The 2020 Cotes du Rhone—formerly released under the Reserve label—delivers plenty of raspberry, cherry and strawberry fruit on the nose and palate. Medium to full-bodied, it's supple, silky and immensely pleasurable, just good, solid fruit-driven fun in a glass. It should be available at a street price of around $15, making it a terrific deal."

"Unusually low in acidity, this rosé gave off a first impression of softness rather than the racy refreshment we tend to expect from this type of wine. But the second impression quickly took over, then the third and so on, as a fruit basket of flavors revealed itself. My palate seemed to be strolling through a Provençal hill town on market day, drinking in the sights, smells and savors of fresh strawberries, raspberries and wildflowers. ABV: 13 percent. - Dave McIntyre"

"The 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Rosé reveals a light, Provençal color as well as notes of white peach, citrus, and tangerines. It shows a touch of salty minerality on the finish, is light and quaffable, and beautifully balanced. In short, it's a terrific Provençal style rosé to drink over the coming summer months."

"Pale and dusky pink in hue, this bright, zesty wine suggests crisp raspberry and cassis flavors accented with earth and bramble. Full bodied yet invigorating, it's a refreshing wine that's still drinking well almost a year after bottling. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"Limpid orange-pink. Aromas and flavors of strawberry and tangerine, accompanied by subtle herbal and floral notes in the background. Supple and broad on the palate, delivering solid thrust. Warm red fruit notes cling to the finish. In an easygoing style and not lacking for heft. - Josh Raynolds"

"Medium salmon rose. Ripe berries and orange zest show on the nose of this well-balanced, crisply textured wine. It’s dry with bracing acidity and good flavor density. Precisely what most people seek in a rosé."

"Made mostly from Grenache, the 2015 Reserve Grand Veneur gives up lots of framboise, ripe cherries and a touch of garrigue in a medium-bodied, bright, fresh and enjoyable style. This is a delicious, versatile Rosé that's perfect for starting a meal, or pairing with light seafood or tapas. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Light pink in color, the 2014 Cotes du Rhone Rose Reserve is a terrific effort that offers lots of strawberry, peach and cherry blossom aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, supple and beautifully textured, yet with good acidity, it shows the more fruity, forward nature of the 2014 vintage perfectly. It represents a fabulous value in rose, should be bought by the case, and enjoyed over the coming 6-12 months. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"A beautiful effort, with ripe strawberry, apple blossom and hints of citrus, the Jaume's 2013 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Grand Veneur Rose is medium-bodied on the palate, with a perfect mix of freshness and richness. It's a textbook rose to enjoy over the coming summer months, yet I'm sure it will continue to offer plenty of pleasure through early next year as well. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"One of my favorite estates in Châteauneuf du Pape (an area now being brilliantly covered by my colleague Jeb Dunnuck), Domaine Grand Veneur is internationally recognized for their fabulous Châteauneuf du Papes, but they also produce some terrific values. The estate wines are sold under the Grand Veneur label, but they have also started a négociant business under the name Alain Jaume. Those wines have been very promising as well.
Lovers of rosé should check out the blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Cinsault, the 2013 Côtes du Rhône Rosé Réserve. This crisp, flinty rosé possesses strawberry and cranberry notes intermixed with a hint of watermelons, and a light-bodied mouthfeel. Drink now. - Robert Parker"

Dry and focused on the palate, offering tangy red fruit and citrus zest flavors that spread out with air. Shows good lift and vivacity on the nervy finish, which features a hint of bitter cherry skin."

"An absolutely brilliant wine is their 2011 Cotes du Rhone Rose Reserve, a blend of 60% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah and Cinsault. Notes of Provencal herbs and vivid strawberry jam intermixed with some kirsch are all present in this surprisingly full-bodied yet lively, ethereal rose that is about as strong an effort in the rose wine market as one can find for under $15 a bottle."
