Bedrock Ode to Lulu Rosé Old Vine 2025
$21.98QuickviewJD92VM9393 Points! The 2025 Rosé Ode to Lulu is vividly fruit forward, with a rush of crushed white cherries and wild strawberries complicated by nuances of chlorophyll and wet stone. This splashes across the palate with ease, soft yet stimulating with a solid core of citrus-infused green melon. A sweet herbal resonance lingers over hints of tangerine, as the 2025 leaves the palate completely refreshed. There is a good amount of richness and character here, but also exceptional balance. - Eric Guido, Vinous
92 Points! The 2025 Ode To Lulu Rose is a bright medium pink color and remains classic and refreshing, with notes of white strawberries, white peach, sour cherries, lime, and saline earth. Medium-bodied, it has bright acidity and a chalky structure. Made mostly from old-vine Mourvèdre with less Grenache and more Carignan in this vintage to preserve freshness, it’s killer as always. Drink over the next several years. - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com

Bodegas Muga Rioja Rosado Flor De Muga 2025
$26.98QuickviewDEC95VM93RP9495 Points! Very pale in colour yet surprisingly concentrated for a wine of such light hue, delivering lots of delicate red berries and an ample palate with plenty of fleshy fruit and texture. The 100% Garnacha fruit is sourced from 70- to 90-year-old vines on several plots at 600m-750m. Only half of the free-run must is used, fermented plot by plot in small oak vats, with the wine remaining on its lees for at least four months before a final selection and blend is made. Wonderfully elegant with stony minerality, this is seamless, fruity and refined, with a very moreish finish. A really clear definition of the region. - Decanter Magazine
94 Points! The top rosé is also extremely young. The 2025 Flor de Muga Rosado was produced with the direct pressing of Garnacha grapes from the Najerilla and Oja valleys, grapes that usually ripen but keep a pale red color and are not suitable for red wines. It fermented in small oak vats, where it was kept with fine lees and bâtonnage for four months. This is even paler and certainly subtler, more elegant and complex than the regular rosé. It comes in at a lower 13.5% alcohol, keeping very good freshness, reflected by a pH of 3.27 and 6.2 grams of acidity. It's balanced and subtle, really elegant and more delicate, with more freshness. - Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com

Thibaud Boudignon Rosé de Loire 2025
$23.98QuickviewWe were among the first in America to champion Thibaud Boudignon back in 2013, and today he's a bona fide rock star whose wines grace Michelin-starred lists across Europe and are heavily allocated stateside. Trained in Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Australia before mastering the Loire, Thibaud farms a scant 5 acres organically, including Chenin adjacent to Nicolas Joly's famed Coulée de Serrant. His Rosé began as a favor to his California importer and has become a cult classic. Sourced primarily from old-vine Cabernet Franc around Anjou, native yeast fermented, and aged 4-6 months in stainless steel, the 2025 delivers the varietal intensity and terroir of a fine red Chinon in pink form: minerally, savory, and saline, with a juicy punch of watermelon-inflected fruit that keeps you coming back. At $23.98, it's world-class Rosé for half what a comparable (or lesser) Provence bottling would cost.
