This is a double 90-point gorgeous French Rose at an absurd price. One of the absolute best quality-to-price ratio offers of the year… no questions asked.
Some of you got to taste the highly-rated Moulin de Gassac Rouge when we had it in the store earlier this year. That too is such a great wine for the price, it’s what Mas de Daumas does best. But their Rose has become the winery’s calling card. Maybe that’s because a Rose that gets released for $13/btl shouldn’t be as good as it is, nor should it come with so many rave reviews. But it is… and here we are.
Josh Raynolds of Vinous’ gave it their highest score ever in their 9 years reviewing the wine, calling it “lively and sharply focused” as well as complimenting the “very good clarity on the palate.” James Suckling saw it even one point higher at 91, calling it “Medium-bodied, with a round, creamy yet fresh palate. Delicate and balanced.”
It’s just a really, really solid wine. Beautiful display of fresh red and citrus fruits with great tension, strong acid and a beautiful mineral cut on the finish. Everything you want in a summer Rose.

91 Points, James Suckling
Very pale rose tint with aromas of peaches, white strawberries, pomegranates and fresh flowers. It’s medium-bodied with a round, creamy yet fresh palate. Delicate and balanced. Cinsault, carignan and grenache. Delicious now.
90 Points, Vinous
Bright, salmon skin color. Lively and sharply focused on the nose, displaying fresh red berry and citrus fruit aromas and sneaky mineral and floral nuances. Shows very good clarity on the palate with nervy strawberry, redcurrant and tangerine flavors, plus a touch of honeysuckle. Finishes taut and long, with repeating florality and firm mineral cut.
94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
This is a historic estate that is one of the best and oldest in the region and arguably the first to bottle their own estate CDP. Their newly released 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is a total gem – a seamless blend of mainly Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah with a little Cinsault blended in. Wine Spectator called the wine, “silky” and elegant and Jeb Dunnuck took it up a step further when he declared the wine, “a big winner, with the vintage’s purity and elegance front and center” in his rave 94-point review.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2021 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
This one is always special, but might not be any better than the 2021 release. This Effet Papillon Rose is off the charts. Made 100% from Grenache (as many of the best Southern French Roses are, this is salmon in color. It boasts aromas of bright red and stone fruits, orange rinds and a hint of lemon zest. It’s incredibly smooth and dry, making it a great food wine– but this Rose is serious with depth and complexity, making it worthy of enjoying on its own.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
