Vinomaker and I are still working our way through our "gargle" (thank you, Thud) of Grenaches. Thus far, mid-gargle so to speak, there have been a couple of hits and a few misses. This rosé offering, the Bergerie de l'Hortus, 2013 Pic St. Loup (Coteaux du Languedoc), was a definite hit. A GSM, made in the saignée method, this delightful pink wine had plenty of ripe fruitiness going on; raspberry, strawberry and a little tropical something that I couldn't quite identify. A little floral, a little creamy, with very balanced acidity, this was a very pleasant tipple. Love the label too - modern, fun and very un-Frenchlike.

Yes a great label.
VG: I was thinking the same as Thud!
Thud & NHW: Yes, I like the vibrancy of the water colour.
