Domaine de la Citadelle, Luberon (Rhône Valley, France) “Les Artemes” 2013

($22): This wine has, not surprisingly given the blend of Grenache and Syrah, considerable muscle for a rosé.  A touch of structure and spice balances the density perfectly. Alexis Rousset-Rouard, who runs the domaine, puts it nicely, “It’s a rosé for September instead of May.”  It’s also good with roasted salmon in January.
