Favorite Rosés?

Well this thread is probably a few months late but I've been drinking a few nice Rose's lately and wondered if anyone else was having as much fun with them as I was.

In terms of "bang for the buck" types, the Josefina Syrah Rose and Marques de Caceres Rioja Rose are two that are great buys for 6-7$.
The Josefina is 100% Syrah, and actually has a bit of meatiness to it. The notes of ripe fruit are somewhat stronger but it does still maintain the crisp acidity and light body that one desires in a Syrah.
The Marques de Caceres (to me) is absolutely delicious, light, dry fruit notes with a refreshing finish.
For a touch more money, the Whispering Angel 2006 from Chateau D'Esclans is beautifully traditional with crisp berry and floral notes. It seems to have a touch of grenache along with Syrah, but I really don't know the exact blend. It's about 10$
