Minuty's 2018 Cotes de Provence Rose 281—named for the vibrant blue Pantone color that adorns the bottle—is a blend of 90% Grenache, 7% Cinsault and 3% Syrah. It's an attractive wine, kicking off with scents of crushed stone and brine, then adding ripe melon and fraises des bois. It's medium-bodied on the palate, showing ample concentration, a touch of creaminess to its texture and a long, gentle finish.
