Kirkland Signature Cotes de Provence Rose, 2024

I usually think of rose wines as being a bit sweet. This one is definitely dry, less than 1 gram residual sugar, and delicious.

Light pink, bright and beautiful. Lovely aromas of flowrers and wild strawberries. 44% Grenache, 26% Carignan, 15% Syrah and 15% Vermentino grown by the Sumeire family who have been winemakers and growers in the Cotes de Provence since the 13th century. Pears, melon, minerals. Savory rather than sweet. Light body and crisp finish. Would be great on the deck on a warm summer day, but it is also a match for garlic tomato pasta in the dead of winter. I don't buy Rose often but this one is on my listl.
