The 2021 Costieres de Nimes Rose Cuvee Tradition is a blend of 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah and 5% Cinsault that boasts fruity aromas of strawberry, cherry, peach and lime. It's medium to full-bodied, offering a nice balance of heft and brightness, with enough richness to let you know it's wine and enough freshness to keep the palate primed for the next sip.

Flinty at first, then becoming more perfumed, with hints of herbs and berries. This lovely rose is round and ample in the mouth, delivering a blend of fruit, herb and mineral flavors. Nicely balanced spice notes mark the finish. Drink now.——J.C.(12/15/2011)—— 91
