The Wine... It is that perfect pale pink color that makes rosé fiends salivate. The flavors are pretty, too, ripe strawberry and orange rind. The name Jas d' Esclans refers to the history of this land. Shepherds used the fields of this domaine, close to the Esclans river, to pasture their flock. The label has a (not very fearsome, stylized) wolf on it. I'd love to try this sunny, slightly citrus-scented rose with a sheep's milk cheese. Or Goat Lady Dairy chevre. Ideally I'd serve it on a picnic in the mountainous back country of Provence, one of the most arresting landscapes I've ever traveled through, but hey, here in Orange County is fine, too.
