In a recent feature, syndicated columnists Tom Marquardt and Patrick Darr dive into the different styles and winemaking techniques that make rosé the perfect partner for summer gatherings. We are thrilled to have two of our selections highlighted as top picks for the season:

"Mourvedre takes the lead in this version, and the flavor profile reveals the darker side of rosé. Watermelon and herbal aromas give way to lush, sweet cherry and strawberry flavors." — On the 2025 Dianthus

"Wow, what a tasty rosé from Paso Robles. It is a blend of grenache (71%), mourvedre, vermentino and counoise — ideal grapes for rosé. Grapefruit and nectarine aromas give way to juicy, forward strawberry and watermelon flavors." — On the 2025 Patelin de Tablas Rosé

The authors also recommend the 2025 Cotes du Rhone Reserve ($16) and 2025 La Vieille Ferme Rose ($12) from our partners at Famille Perrin, praising their crisp acidity and juicy red fruit.
