Mas de Cadenet Sainte Victoire Rose 2011

I'm a firm believer in A.J. Liebling's dictum that, among roses, only a Tavel is worthy of consideration and I fear that this Cotes de Provence does nothing to disabuse me of that notion. This is a pleasant enough wine, but it comes unomfortably close to being actually sweet. The PA price of $20.69 is obscene, it's available for less than half of that elsewhere.
