Winemaker Notes: The intense pink color is characteristic of a great Tavel. Aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, and pomegranate share the glass with peppery notes. The wine is balanced and flavorful, and the finish is long. It is a gastronomic rosé that pairs with every part of the meal from aperitif through dessert.
Pair with barbecue, red meat, dessert, or fruit.
Blend: 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Clairette, 10% Mourvedre, 5% Cinsault, 5% Bourboulenc
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - "Notes of raspberry, strawberry, and spices. Rosé from Tavel is flavorful, food-friendly, and raspberry pink."
Jeb Dunnuck - "A beautiful Tavel, the 2022 Tavel has ripe strawberry and floral aromatics to go with a medium-bodied, pure, elegant style on the palate offering plenty of Tavel richness and depth while staying fresh, light on its feet, and balanced."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Almost half Grenache, with the rest mostly Cinsault, Clairette, Mourvedre and Syrah, the 2022 Tavel even includes small proportions of Bourboulenc and Picpoul. If you can hold off opening a bottle until this summer, or even into the fall, that would be a good idea, or else decant in advance of serving. Right now, there's a touch of austerity to the wine, with scents of wet stone reducing the impact of red berries and citrus on the nose, and the full-bodied palate seems just a bit pinched and tight but with the potential to blossom in a few months."
