Once again, for the third straight year, Whispering Angel has been Harney's best-selling Rose' wine. Elegant, light, dry (not sweet), with hints of strawberry and peach, balancing delicious fruit with refreshing acidity. The next three best-selling Rose' wines: Chateau Montaud, Aime Roquesante, and Minuty, are all, not accidentally, from Provence, France, and they exhibit the Provence style. Gone are the days when a Rose' wine meant syrupy-sweet. (I still encounter people who refuse to even taste a Rose'; they shudder, remembering the syrupy-sweet experience.) The Wine World has embraced Provence as its role model in making Rose', and I'm glad that it has.
