Shop review: "55% Syrah, 45% Grenache.  A delightful salmon-pink wine is produced using the traditional saignee process. After macerating on the skins for approximately 10 hours, the juice is then pumped off and fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks.  Aromatics of strawberries and crushed red fruit leap from the glass.  In the mouth, it is fresh with excellent acidity, some mineral components and good length.  Very food friendly, it is a great companion to just about anything you want to throw at it!" -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Moulin de Gassac Rose poured a pleasant light pink in the glass.  Notes of flowers, strawberries, and grassy dew filled the nose.  The palate was delighted by the soft, sweet, fresh strawberries that provided a smooth finish.  I particularly enjoyed this rose.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
