Having eschewed any "pink" wine for many years, we decided to try a Tavel rose after having read an article about it. Our first encounter with its nose was amazing! Scents of strawberries and red raspberries fairly exploded out of the glass. The flavor was even better. This wine is dry and full in the mouth with wonderful flavor of the red berries. The finish is smooth and medium, but the scent of the wine remains in one's nose long after the drinking is over. This is a wonderful wine, full-bodied and delicious. The Tavel rose mystique is well earned.

I am new to wine. I have been a bourbon/whiskey/scotch drinker for a long time. I have had several various wines over the last few years and found little enjoyment in any of them. Evil cabernet sauvignon has changed that. This wine has inspired me to move past my traditional vices and try new things. I have had several cabernet sauvignons in the past and this has been the first to impress me enough to finish the bottle and buy another. I recommend this to anyone who is in doubt of wine or anyone who wants to try something new. I do not consider myself a wine afficionado by any means, but this bottle has inspired me to pursue a new avenue of beverage completely different from those I prefer. This wine may be my conversion from bourbon to red.
