Washington D.C.-based importer Bobby Kacher has a veritable stable of bargain-priced rosés, but this one is among the least expensive. Although only a Vin de Pays, it’s located in prime south-of-France rosé country, between Avignon and Nîmes. This blend of Merlot (35 percent), Syrah (25 percent), Grenache (20 percent), Mourvèdre, Carignana and Cabernet Sauvignon offers slightly floral scents alongside hints of crushed stone, while the flavors lean toward rose petals and raspberries with a squirt of lime juice. Silky on the finish, with tangy acids for refreshment.

This starts off as a deceptively simple berry-cocktail sort of rosé, but then adds lime and crushed stone on the finish to provide added interest and refreshment. Drink now.

It's said that Viognier is difficult to grow, but then how can bargains such as this continue to exist? For $10, you get truffled pear aromas rounded out by the addition of melon, decent concentration and a long, dusty-minerally finish. Drink now.

Sauvignon Blanc from the Rhône? Why not? This wine features an intriguing blend of ripe, honeyed fruit with grassy, peppery, underripe qualities. Lean and minerally, with a fast-fading finish.

The first Sauvignon Blanc I've tasted from the South of France. A rich, full-flavored wine with an very aromatic nose--notes of passion fruit. Bright acidity brings balance to the richness. Peach rind finish.
