Another winner from this outstanding Loire Valley domaine. While not as amazing as the 2005 rosé, reviewed previously here, this was really enjoyable. And a GREAT value as well.
Eye: Beautiful light pinkish-cantaloupe color.
Nose: Really exuberant nose of strawberries, powdered stony minerals, and a tres leches-like, cream-laden angel cake component.
Mouth: Bright, fresh, and fruity, with medium-light body and loads of crisp fruit, and a nice "lift" and clarity to the long finish.
Score: 89.
Cellar or drink? It's a dang rosé, for Pete's sake. You know what to do: chill it and drink it this summer!
Price/store: Was $10.99 at Richard's on Voss (near San Felipe).
