Default TN: Rhone and Provence

Couple of wines tasted over last 4 days:

2007 Ch. de Roquefort "Corail" rosé (Cotes de Provence)
This was with some ham and a mixture of beet greens and broccoli rabe.
Strawberries and cherries marinated in citrus. Good acidity, a
pleasing bitter note in background, very tasty. On days 2 & 3 the
citrus/bitter had faded, but still a tasty simple rosé. Label says
Grenache, Styrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Vermentino. & Clairette. B/B+
*
2006 St Cosme Cotes du Rhone
This was with a lamb chop. Good body for a CdR, a peppery note over
fairly dense dark berry fruit. Some tannins, ok length. Holds up well
overnight. Not running out for more, but might pick up if I wanted to
fill a case, and it's got enough body to last for a while. B

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
