Sara d’Amato – Consider this your permission slip to keep drinking rosé. Just because summer is winding down, doesn’t mean the pink has to go. This is the kind of rosé that makes a strong case for keeping it in the rotation well into fall, and beyond. It’s structured enough for substantial food and built with enough substance to reward a little time in the cellar. Just a touch less expensive than the winery’s flagship Tavel, it’s a particularly compelling gateway to the deeply coloured rosés of the appellation.
