Wine: Bargain rosés

If you spend even $15 to $20 a bottle, “there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to indulge in some fantastic rosé this season,” said Samantha Maxwell in Paste. “There are plenty of affordable options that taste great and will offer the flavor profile you’re looking for,” including these widely available bottles.

Castello Monaci Kreos ($16). Bolder than the average rosé, this dark pink southern Italian wine is “super juicy and acidic,” combining notes of watermelon, mango, and blood orange.

Gérard Bertrand Côte des Roses ($17). An “ideal crowd pleaser,” this “lovely, fresh” Languedoc rosé delivers aromas of red currant and raspberry, followed by grapefruit on the palate.

2021 Willamette Valley Vineyards ‘Whole Cluster’ Rosé of Pinot Noir ($18). “A very versatile wine,” this rosé evokes a dry pinot noir but with notes of orange and grapefruit.
