2018 Chateau Roubine Cotes de Provence Rose

Translucent orange. Mineral-accented red berry and orange zest qualities and a suave floral nuance on the spice-inflected nose. Shows very good clarity and tension on the palate, offering zesty red currant, bitter cherry and blood orange flavors and a hint of smokiness. The floral and orange notes repeat on the long, taut finish, which leaves a subtle mineral note behind. 91 points

Hints of tomato leaf accent cantaloupe on the nose of the 2018 Cotes de Provence Rose Premium. A blend of six different grape varieties but mostly Grenache, Cinsault and Tibouren, it`s medium-bodied, fresh and clean, with flavors of peach and cherry, then ends on a lime-like note. 89 points
