Southbrook Triomphe Organic Cabernet Franc Rosé 2021
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
VINTAGES#: 279117, $20.95 SHOP »»
This is a tangy, mouth-watering, versatile wine, with aromas and flavours of savoury herbs, apple, cherry, strawberry and citrus. Pair it with grilled seafood or a rainbow-sweet-potato hash.
"Always a bit of a rosé departure with organic Cabernet Franc. Deep hue, well received and pressed fruit, substance, and notable phenolics. Reminiscent of varietal wines out the Loire with pyrazine, washed cheese rind, thyme and camphor. Drink 2022-2023." Score: 88 Pts. - Michael Godel, Wine Align. Tasted July 2022.

Extremely well done. 60% Garnacha and the rest in Viura and Tempranillo. Drink now." Score: 92 Pts. (2020 Vintage) - James Suckling, October 14, 2021.

Château de l'Escarelle Rosé 2021
Provence, France
VINTAGES#: 25735, $18.95 SHOP »»
This classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah has a fine balance between elegance and energy. It's long and juicy, with blood orange, red berry, lifted floral notes, Provençal herbs, and a touch of spice on the close. Try it with a sashimi-tuna salad.
"Limpid, salmon skin color. Sharply focused orange zest and redcurrant aromas, along with building floral and spice notes. Tangy and focused on the palate, offering fresh strawberry, blood orange, candied lavender and white pepper flavors that show firm tension and strong cut on the back half. Closes long and tight, with the red fruit and spice notes repeating strongly." Score: 91 Pts. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
