This week’s wine reviews. All wines were received as press samples and tasted in a single-blind format.

Review: 2011 Domaine du Tariquet Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne Rosé de pressée
France, Southwest France, Gascony, Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne
SRP: $10. An extremely aromatic nose of juicy, fresh strawberries. In the background, however, there’s something slightly awkward and flat. Lots of acidity on the front of the palate, but the wine has a short finish. A pleasant, simple rosé. (86 pts.)

Review: 2011 Domaine de Gournier Côtes de Provence Rosé
France, Provence, Côtes de Provence
SRP: $10. On the nose, sweet, wild cherry cough drops with strawberry compote in the background. The palate, while pleasant, is lacking in acidity. (85 pts.)

Review: 2011 Matchbook Tempranillo
USA, California, Central Valley, Dunnigan Hills
SRP: $10. A beautiful nose of bright cherries, melon, and raspberries, with a hint of sage, eucalyptus, and other herbs. The palate is oddly sweet and seriously lacking in acidity.(85 pts.)

Review: 2011 Château Guiot Costières-de-Nîmes Rosé
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Costières-de-Nîmes
SRP: $10. The nose isn’t terribly aromatic, but it’s seductive – perfectly ripe strawberries and a hint of fresh watermelon and watermelon rind. The palate is balanced, but has an odd note of rubbing alcohol. Overall, it’s an enjoyable wine. (85 pts.)

Review: 2011 Envolve Rosé
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Mountain
SRP: $25. Wow – the nose is explosive and delightful. Bright, red raspberries, sweet strawberries, and perfectly ripe watermelon. On the palate, the wine starts strong with great depth and good acidity, but there’s some awkward (and unnecessary) sugar at the finish. (89 pts.)

Review: 2011 Domaine Saint-Antoine Costières-de-Nîmes Rosé
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Costières-de-Nîmes

Review: 2011 Domaine des Corbillières Touraine Rosé

Review: 2010 The Other Guys Pinot Noir Hey Mambo Kinky Pink
USA, California
SRP: $12. The nose is explodes with orange marmalade, followed by a hint of white flowers. The palate is shockingly dry, but it’s awkward. (85 pts.)

Review: 2011 Domaine des Cantarelles Vin de Pays du Gard Rose de Fayel

Review: 2011 Domaine Sainte-Eugénie Corbières Rosé
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Corbières
SRP: $10. On the nose, a simple, summer quaffer. The palate is equally simple, but delightfully gulpable. A fun, easy-to-drink rosé. (86 pts.)

Review: 2011 Pueblo Del Sol Tannat Rosé
Uruguay, Canelones, Juanico
SRP: $11. The nose is seductive – fresh strawberries, some cinnamon and clove, and ripe raspberries. The palate is fantastic — well-balanced, well-structured, great acidity, and tasty.(91 pts.)

Review: 2011 Château Grande Cassagne Costières-de-Nîmes Rosé

Review: 2011 Field Stone Petite Sirah Rosé Heritage Block
USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley
SRP: $20. A shockingly dark rosé – it almost looks like a Beaujolais. On the nose, fresh cranberries meet sweet strawberries and a hint of candied cherries and graphite. The palate, while weighty, is light on its feet and well-balanced, with zippy acidity. (90 pts.)

Review: 2011 Cornerstone Cellars Stepping Stone Corallina Rosé
USA, California, North Coast, Red Hills Lake County
SRP: $20. On the nose, an amazingly rich, juicy rosé that smells like the flesh of freshly bit strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, with a hint of lemon rind and lees. The palate is full, serious, balanced, and delicious, if a bit heavy for my tastes. (91 pts.)

Review: 2011 Domaine Thomas et Fils Sancerre Rouge Terres Blanches
France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Sancerre Rouge
SRP: $25. The nose is incredibly inviting – and the palate matches. Pink grapefruit, lemon juice, and other citrus notes that are reminiscent of strawberry lemonade. Perfectly balanced on the palate, with bracing acidity. A fantastic rosé. (92 pts.)
