A pale salmon colored rose, this medium- to full-bodied wine offers scents of honeydew, red berries, peach and crushed stones and flavors to match. The only quibble is that it finishes a little abruptly. This is very good, but consumers should be on the lookout for the fresher 2007.——J.C.(7/1/2008)—— 87

One of the world's best-known roses, Ott's Chateau de Selle is a clean, refreshing, minerally drink. The flavors are difficult to describe exactly, coming across a little like underripe melon combined with grapefruit, herbs and white chocolate. Tasty enough to satisfy the wine crowd, trendy enough to satisfy everyone else.——J.C.(7/1/2007)—— 88

A classy pink wine made for wowing the taste buds, not chugging. Unlike most summer-oriented roses, this one is elegant and refined. Splash a cool mouthful around your palate and absorb the peach and strawberry flavors, and the mildly drying oak. Awfully good as rose goes, but expensive.——M.S.(5/1/2000)—— 89
