This playful brand is known for turning out reliable wine values, and they don’t disappoint with their 2009 rose. A blend of 50% Syrah, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Gamay and 10% Grenache, there’s plenty of fruit in the red berries, cherry, stewed rhubarb and strawberry flavors throughout. Lean but refreshing with a short crisp finish.——L.B.(11/1/2010)—— 85
