DOMAINE MABY LA FORCADIÈRE ROSÉ TAVEL 2009

DOMAINE MABY LA FORCADIÈRE ROSÉ TAVEL 2009, AC Tavel (Rhone, France); #701318; Price: $15.95; 13.5% ABV
Here’s a chance to try another rosé from Tavel, considered by some the best rosé in France. A blend of mostly Grenache Noir and Cinsault, with Bourboulenc, Carignan, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. Quite a deep pink colour.  Aromas of strawberry and red cherry with a bit of dried herbs.  Red cherry on the palate with an interesting bitter almond taste at the back.  Fairly hefty for a rosé.  Wonderfully bone-dry.  It's a winner.
