Brise Maritime Mediterranee IGP Rose 2024
$25, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, France.
There’s a saline aspect to this pippy. strawberry-and-red-cherry rosé, and it’s a key part of what makes it so more-ish. This is a great drink at a great price. It’s refreshing, it carries a nice slip of texture, there’s a gentle spice-driven seasoning and it just plain makes you want to dive in for more. 93 points.
