The vintage
2012 is a vintage of contrasts with a very mild start of the year and a freezing month of February.
A fresh and humid spring, followed by a windy and dry month of July and a very hot month of August.
The harvesting conditions were ideal. All these conditions make a great vintage.

Reviews
"2012 Perrin Family Reserve Rosé (Cotes du Rhone, France). The least-seen hue in the Perrin Family’s reliable “step up” from their ubiquitous (and solid) La Vieille Ferme brand, the rosé uses a high percentage of the southern French specialty Cinsaut grape for this especially succulent, wickedly versatile sipper. Perhaps it’s the soft pinkish-orange color that tricks the mind to look for orange blossoms and orange sherbet in the aroma. But both are there, in a lovely and captivating drink. $11."
"Pale lipstick pink. Some fermentation aromas. Quite a bit of chew and much firmed and drier on the finish than the Vieille Ferme counterpart."
"(made from cinsault, syrah, grenache and mourvèdre): Light orange. Spice-accented red berry and cherry aromas show good clarity and pick up a subtle floral quality with aeration. On the palate, juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors are given a refreshingly bitter edge by a suggestion of orange zest. Closes on a spicy note, with good energy and a lingering hint of white pepper."
"Pale pink, dry and juicy with bright plum and berry fruit ; racy, fresh and balanced.
60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre.
