Loads of raspberry on the nose. Lively, dry, with soft floral notes and good acidity.
Sauvion Rosé d'Anjou 2011

Unique orange-pink blend of groslot and gamay, with lots of strawberry and watermelon on the nose. Very light and refreshing; a perfect aperitif.
Vitiano Rosato 2011
Umbria, Italy

Blend of Sangiovese, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and local Aleatico. One of the favorites of this tasting. A complex nose with lots of fruit, and a basil note. This will be perfect with spicy sausage from the grill.
Domaine des Carteresses 2011

Big and full-bodied for a rosé. Ruby in color, with fresh cherry, raspberry and spice, and a long finish.
Bonny Doon Vin Gris de Cigare 2011
Santa Cruz, Calif.

California's most famed rosé. Subtle, creamy, almost like a full-bodied white. Perfect with salty cheeses and olives.
