La Crema Monterey Rosé 2016: La Crema has been making award-winning, artisanal wine for 40 years and this rosé is also a winner. This rosé of pinot noir has aromas of orange and pink grapefruit followed by a touch of sour orange, maraschino cherry and slight minerality.

Miraval Cotes de Provence Rosé: Rich in caramel, strawberry fruit and spice, this 91-point wine is an inspiration from Provence. Known for its celebrity ownership (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), this work of art should be a celebrity all its own. 

Très Chic Rosé: One sip of this beauty and you'll think you’ve been transported to the South of France. Rose petal-colored with red berry fruits, grapefruit and notes of Provence herbs, this rosé leans towards the drier side and is a terrific value.
