Paul Jaboulet Aine
Parallele 45
Rose, 2007
Cotes du Rhone, France
This wine is named after the 45th Parallel, which crosses the Rhone Valley, and consists of 50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah. It has an interesting contrast of sweet and tart flavors, with refreshing fruit and spice undertones. This wine is best to be enjoyed young and served chilled on a hot summer afternoon. While we're still getting over the "pink wine stigma" and are just learning about rose wines, we found this first experience fun and enjoyable!
A&T Ranking: 7.5/10
It's great that you're getting into Roses. We've been drinking them all summer and recommend some on our site if you want to try some more:
