Talk about a wine made for relaxed summer fun and spontaneous barbecues! This easy-going Red Bicyclette Rosé from the Languedoc region of Southern France is brimming with the fresh flavors of ripe red fruits - strawberry, raspberry and a hint of citrus. A blend of predominately Syrah and Grenache grapes brings a refreshing well-structured wine. This Rosé is more than capable of handling an assortment of summer's best fare, from grilled veggies and Asian spice, certainly a wine to be stocked and ready to go all summer long!

Thanks for the great tip. I think Rose’wines are coming back into “wine fashion.” I had a taste of one at a wine class, Bell Vineyards Rose’ and I loved it! Will be my next wine purchase.
