Not on par with 2020 or 2021. Nice, spicy, with strong hint of cranberry. But not a masterpiece. Rosé might be good, but it didn't reach Minnesota yet.
Was good with croissant pie.

2021 J.L.Quinson Côtes de Provence
Wonderful Rosé! Lots of citrus, as if it was held on lemon skins, a hint of honey, a hint of summer meadow, spices!
Enjoyed it with seafood paella.

2021 Céline Côtes de Provence
Côtes de Provence as I like it. Honey, spices and a hint of citrus.
Was great with grilled shrimp.

2019 Château du Grand Bern
Second bottle from Costco Christmas box. Decent Bordeaux, but with strong bitter note, more usual for Médoc. Makes this wine less pleasant than other three of the box.
Was OK with BBQ chicken pizza.
2021 Patrick Lesec Côtes du Rhône Villages
Another good Côtes du Rhône from Costco. Very subtle. Subtle chokeberry note, subtle leather note, just a hint of tobacco, almost no sugar. Very pleasant overall. Already bought more.
Was very good with grilled bison burgers.
2019 Baracan
Third bottle from Costco Christmas box. Good. Strong black currant note, spice, almost no sugar. Very subtle bitter note, more usual for Médoc, but aerator makes it almost disappear.
Was very good with BBQ chicken pizza.
2019 Château Haut Landon
Last bottle from Costco Christmas box. Nice Bordeaux. Mixed berries, old leather. Not very strong, 13% alcohol, which is good for a change. No sugar.
Was very good with sous vide tuna.
