"Spicy, herbal and peppery, with lots of floral and strawberry nuances, the 2015 Le Rose is medium-bodied, supple, and pretty on the palate, with solid acidity and texture. It won't be for everyone given the herbal edge, but there's plenty to like here. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Light lurid orange. Ripe red berries and tangerine on the nose and in the mouth. In a smooth, warm, open-knit style; a hint of white pepper adds finishing cut and spiciness."

"A blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Gamay, and 20% Pinot Noir, this rose reveals a light salmon pink color and very faint red cherry skin on the nose with floral notes. It exhibits a hint of sweetness on the attack with red berry fruit on the mid-palate and a nice lingering finish of red berry/cherry notes."

"Brilliant salmon orange color. Interesting aromas and flavors of sweet pickle relish and spiced berries and plantains with a silky, bright, dry-yetfruity light-to-medium body and a delightful, medium-length finish imparting nuances of watermelon, Bing cherry, and nut brittle with a suggestion of oak flavor. A uniquely flavorful rose with a great savory character."

"An interesting blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Gamay, and 20% Pinot Noir, the 2019 Le Rosé offers a lighter pink/ruby hue as well as a pretty bouquet of watermelon, cherries, and white flowers. Quite elegant and complex, it has medium-bodied richness on the palate, nicely integrated acidity, and a clean, dry finish. It’s more than a simple rosé and grows on you with time in the glass. It’s going to shine on the dinner table (or with tapas) over the coming summer months."

"Labeled simply as Vin de France, this delightful rosé from Loire Valley producer Alain de la Treille is a blend of cabernet franc, gamay and pinot noir. It is bracing and refreshing, with bright flavors of strawberry and rhubarb. The 2018 is still available in Montgomery County — the stores listed below have that vintage. ABV: 12.5 percent."
