"Black cherries, framboise, ripe herbs, and some spice notes all emerge from the 2023 Tavel, a rich, beautifully balanced, layered rosé with that classic Tavel richness as well as balance."

- Jeb Dunnuck (Importer Highlight: Fran Kysela ; July 2024), 91 pts

"Notes of fresh red fruits and indicates that this wine possibly went through carbonic maceration as it has aromas of strawberry & bubble gum. Full bodied rose ideal for barbecued dishes."

"Brilliant siam color. Attractive aromas and flavors of cherry-rhubarb tart and pomegranate chutney on raisin toast with a silky, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, elegant, very long finish imparting overtones of strawberry shortbread, candied orange, and hint of rye cracker with fine, fruit tannins and no oak flavor. A brilliant, juicy and toothsome rose that delivers pleasure at every opportunity; try in a spritzer too."

"One year older than most of the wines in this report, Ségriès's 2021 Tavel is still a nice deep ruby hue and still nicely floral on the nose, with hints of garrigue and violets accenting cherries and red berries. Full-bodied, round and expansive on the palate, it retains some zestiness as well, with notes of brine and citrus on the lingering finish. It's a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 10% each Clairette and Syrah. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Light light siam color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry and black cherry with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, nuanced, very long finish with touches of lime zest, pink peppercorns, and strawberry rhubarb relish with no oak flavor. A full flavored, full bodied, serious Rosé."

"Lurid orange-pink. Mineral-accented aromas of ripe tangerine, cherry and pungent flowers, plus a suggestion of succulent herbs. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated bitter cherry, peach and blood orange flavors and a subtle lavender flourish. Finishes very long and focused, the lavender note repeating. - Josh Raynolds"

"Tavel is an appellation in the Rhone Valley of southern France that was famous for its rosé wine long before rosé became a fad in this country. And despite the trendy preference for paler pinks, Tavel maintains its tradition of deeply colored rosé with enough heft to accompany heartier foods. This wine is not for casual sipping along the Cote d’Azur, or even on your patio. Have this with a seafood stew, grilled fish or barbecued pork. ABV: 14.5 percent. - Dave McIntyre"

"Deep orange-pink. Powerful aromas of ripe red berries, cherry, blood orange and nectarine, plus a hint of lavender emerging in the background. Palate-staining raspberry, bitter cherry and tangerine flavors develop a sweetening touch of honey. Chewy and expansive on the persistent finish, which repeats the pit fruit and floral notes. - Josh Raynolds"

"Medium garnet. Effusive aromas of strawberry and red plum. Full in the mouth with rich ripe red fruit flavors, good balance and a sense of refreshment. Finishes with an almost unctuous syrup of red berries. 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Clairette and 10% Syrah from 60 year old vines made saignée method. - Don WINKLER"

"The mouthwatering perfumes of wild strawberry and sour cherry introduce this big blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Clairette and Syrah. It's a rich, concentrated rosé packed with sunny red-fruit flavors and warmed by hints of burnt caramel, dried thyme and cinnamon. Ideal year round with anything from fish to lamb chops, it should drink well through 2022. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

"The 2019 Tavel from Château de Ségriès is terrific, offering classic Tavel richness and depth as well as lots of kirsch and wild strawberry fruits, a touch of wildflowers, medium-bodied richness, good acidity, and a great finish. It’s another dry rosé from 2019 that has loads to love. As with the majority of Tavel, it’s geared for the dinner table and will keep for 6-12 months, if not a touch longer."

"This is a deeply concentrated rosé, both in color and palate, suggesting sun-kissed watermelon, raspberry and red-cherry flavors. It's full bodied and intensely fruity but refreshingly dry and mineral on the palate too. It's a bold wine framed by fine, firm tannins and a long finish to enjoy now through 2023. - Anna Lee C. IIJIMA"

"Pristine watermelon, strawberry and cherry flavors burst from nose and palate of this plush, juicy rosé. While dry in style and briskly composed, it's a buoyant, concentrated sip with hints of spice, caramelized sugar and dried herb that linger on the finish. It's vivid pink in hue and quite exuberant. - ANNA LEE C. IIJIMA"

Made from 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, and 10% each of Clairette and Syrah, it has classic cherry and strawberry fruits as well as subtle floral notes, and it’s medium-bodied, rich, and textured on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity. As with all classic Tavel, it’s geared for the dinner table and will keep for a year or two."

"This Rosé displays aromas of red cherry with a purity that runs through the wine. Soft and full with moderate acidity, it has generous fruit and a touch of earthiness. There's a perfumed character to the palate also. Very Tavel like in character. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Clairette, 10% Syrah done saignée style from 60 year old vines. 14.5% alc."

"Don’t overlook the 2016 Tavel from this estate. It’s a fruit-driven version but a luscious one, filled with hints of melon, peach, cherry and berry. It’s medium to full-bodied, turning dry and stony on the finish. Like most Tavels, it may be even better in the second year after the vintage. - Joe Czerwinski"

"Vivid orange-pink. Potent cherry and raspberry scents, along with suggestions of blood orange, peach pit and fresh flowers. Sappy and nicely concentrated, offering spice-accented red berry and citrus fruit flavors that tighten up slowly with air. Shows very good focus and lift on a chewy, clinging finish that echoes the orange and floral notes."

"This rosé is mouthfilling and round, with ample melon and berry fruit, a sprinkling of dried spices and minimal herb notes. It actually drinks almost like a red wine for its weight and berry-scented richness, but remains refreshing on the long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now."
