90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Superfresh, with lots of tangy cherry, cherry pit and watermelon notes and a long, stone-tinged finish. Very tasty. Drink now. 500 cases imported." –JM (June 15, 2011)

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2009 vintage):
"This dry, full-bodied rose, made from tiny yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare, is a blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and the rest Clairette. The estate is large, nearly 90 acres, owned by the Richard family, who are the proprietors of Chateau La Nerthe. This classic orange/salmon-colored wine offers up an exquisite nose of dried flowers, framboise, strawberry jam, Provencal herbs and spice. Its considerable depth of flavor and full body make this very dry rose the quintessential example of a great Tavel (which is increasingly hard to find). Drink it over the next 1-2 years." - Robert Parker (Oct 2010)
