Chateau L'Ermitage makes a delicious Rose in the Rhone valley of France, Costieres De Nimes appellation controlee, 2010. Mis en bouteille au chateau (bottled at the estate), Castillon & Fils proprietaires. This Rose was 50% Syrah, 30% Grenche, and 20% Mourvedre. Imported by Saranty Imports, White Plains NY (Terrisson-wines.com). Rose wines are (in my opinion) best drank chilled, in warmer weather. It hit 116F here in west Phoenix this week. I'd say that was "warmer weather" by most standards.
The wine comes in a clear bottle with a white label that doesn't photograph well. When looking for it at the store, look at the French Rose selection. I got it at Trader Joes for less than $10 (I think it was about $6 a bottle). And, it is the last bottle I have stored on my desk next to my desktop.. so the wine blogging will cease for today. To be continued next month (likely).
