2010 MAS DE LA DAME ROSE

"(50% grenache, 30% syrah and 10% each of carignane, mourvedre and cabernet sauvignon): Light orange. Fresh red berries and blood orange on the fragrant nose, with notes of white pepper and lavender adding complexity. At once juicy and expansive, offering ripe red fruit and citrus flavors and slow-building floral character. Rich but energetic and dry, finishing with good cut." Steve Tanzer 88 points
