2020 License IV Rose, Provence, France (1L)   

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Merlot. The pale salmon hue belies a beckoning bouquet of pink grapefruit and strawberry blossoms. Classic flavors of tangy watermelon and all spice showcase delightful freshness. With a vivacity that features a racy acid profile, this rosé graces the palate with blood orange zest and saline minerality on the finish.

From the producer: "In France, the right to serve wine at meals and the times in between, be it at a curbside café or in a Michelin-starred restaurant, is granted by Licence IV and signified by the enameled placards bolted to the wall. With Licence IV wines, we tap into the true spirit of wine and the way it has been enjoyed for many years…paired with the moment, in a simple glass, and enjoyed on the fly with friends."
