French Classics at The Wine Market!
2007 CORAIL Rosé Côtes de Provence Château
de Roquefort $15
Wild strawberry, pink grapefruit
and honeysuckle aromas are brightened by dusty minerals and white pepper.
Racy red fruit flavors are light in body and possess impressive clarity.

wake.
2007
Château Virgile
Costières de Nîmes Rosé $13
Aromas of strawberry and cherry dominate
the nose. This is a rosé full of substance and concentration,
with strawberry and raspberry flavors that linger on the palate. These
bright red fruit flavors are balanced by a refreshing acidity in the
finish. This rosé, served chilled, is perfect for food pairings
that demand more than a white, but might be overwhelmed by a red.

Château St.-Martin de la Garrigue Languedoc Rosé $10
Muscular, with aromas and flavors of dried cherry
and spice. Smooth peppery notes on the tannic finish.
2006

Domaine Stainte-Eugénie Corbières $13
Blend of about 60% old vine Carignan with the rest
being a blend of Grenache and Syrah. Marvelously complex and clean.
The red fruits burst from the glass with mild hints of toast and spice
that continue through the impeccably balanced finish.
