This Tavel from Provence, the color of pink rose petals, is an uncommon rosé. It tastes like dried cherries and has the presence and body of a red wine. It's dry. The tannins are muted. A pretty wine, this blend of Grenache with Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette is perfect to drink with sandwiches or pot pie made from leftover turkey. It's good with omelets and cheese too, or roasted root vegetables and soups. It's a wine for any season, anytime.
