Château de Calavon 2012 Rosé (Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Ripe and fruity, this is a concentrated rosé that shows its origins in the rich terroir of Aix-en-Provence. That said, all the right acidity and citrus flavors are there balancing the generous red plum fruits. This is a wine for food rather than an aperitif.

Spicy, minty, wood-aged wine that shows more wood than fruit. It does have a rich character from black plum and berry flavors so the wine will become better integrated. So wait for 2–3 years.

A mature wine that has austerity and a severe countenance that is comes from the dry tannins. Secondary fruit flavors are now dominating, giving some juiciness but also a leathery texture. Drink now or over the next few months.
