 Tasted by dom1581 on 3/25/2016 & rated 90 points: Immer wieder ein toller Wein. (4927 views)
 Tasted by dom1581 on 12/26/2015 & rated 89 points: Very nice Wine. (5377 views)
 Tasted by finewinebuff57 on 8/14/2015 & rated 84 points: Grenache, Cinsault - startlingly pale. Very delicate. Ethereal and sophisticated or underpowered and slightly vapid? For me more the latter than the former (2669 views)
 Tasted by kylerogers on 7/18/2015 & rated 88 points: Nose: strawberry, peach
Palate: peaches and white pepper

Not a typical rosé where I get a ton of strawberries. Leans mic more on the side of peaches and apricots. (6041 views)
 Tasted by legarejm on 6/28/2015 & rated 88 points: Very very light, almost too light. Refreshing dry wine with subtle fruity and floral notes. (2764 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 6/8/2015 & rated 87 points: My last bottle from last summer. This is still nice, but like most roses, IMO, it doesn't offer up that fresh vibrant fruit once it gets more than a year from vintage. It is still refreshing and a solid wine. There is some generic red watery red fruit. A nice texture. Goes well with food. Time to start drinking the 14's. (5393 views)
 Tasted by dom1581 on 4/26/2015 & rated 90 points: Zum Spargel.... Wunderbar. (5498 views)
 Tasted by chewiness on 3/24/2015: very light color, almost yellowish. delicate white peach aroma, hints of white flowers and wet stones. a very light rose (lighter than most from provence). peaches and light orange rind zestiness. refreshing minerality. almost no sweetness (again, compared to provence). good for sipping, although the lack of sweetness and high minerality make it hard to enjoy more than a glass or two (3431 views)
 Tasted by kylerogers on 11/11/2014 & rated 88 points: This is, without a doubt, the lightest rose I've ever seen. It is almost indistinguishable from a white. On the nose, floral bouquet with tropical melons. On the palette, honeydew, a tiny bit of pineapple, and plenty of melon rind. Seriously, it's as clear as water. Not a bad rose, but questionable at $17 even with the elegant bottle. (3318 views)
 Tasted by David_T on 10/1/2014 & rated 89 points: Rainier cherry, white flower, herb and mineral notes on both the nose and palate. Light in color and light on its feet. Medium acidity and minerality though a somewhat short finish. Fresh and refreshing. (2831 views)
 Tasted by bechi on 9/8/2014 & rated 90 points: Delicate and delicious, a rose that never fails to please. I really need to learn to purchase more while it's still available, but never do. (2815 views)
 Tasted by gdbarton1@gmail.com on 9/6/2014 & rated 89 points: Clear, very light pale salmon. Light white peach, white fruit nose. Medium bodied, mineral/saline some white fruit good body longer finish than most. Has more structure/body and mineral flavor than any rose I have tried. (2442 views)
 Tasted by legarejm on 9/4/2014 & rated 87 points: Very light Rosé. Subtle notes of melon, light strawberries and flowers and light acidity. Still refreshing, easy going happy hour or afternoon summer wine. (1829 views)
 Tasted by BenBlu on 8/31/2014 & rated 91 points: Had 4 of these bottles over the weekend with friends. I love it. It has everything I am looking for in Rose. Elegant, really easy drinking, beautiful peachy colour, soft fruit, maybe a bit little on the nose. If you look for a rose for easy summer drinking then this is the perfect choice. I believe this to be pretty much on par and drinking very similar to the Domaine Ott, which I love, but this comes at a much more reasonable price point (just over £10). Just ordered another 6 bottles in case we get an Indian summer. Not very likely in London, but I cannot risk running out. (2488 views)
 Tasted by scott w on 8/29/2014 & rated 84 points: Perfectly meh, really wanted to like it. (1951 views)
 Tasted by henrygjeffreys on 8/24/2014: smells faintly of strawberries
very very pale colour - almost like water
very fresh and lemony, sort of saline
nice texture
refreshing and clean without being bland
some length
tastes expensive without being particularly complex (1741 views)
 Tasted by Rezy13 on 8/13/2014: Super pale pink with hardly any hue; steely mineral on the nose with faint strawberry, cherry, smells dry and taut; very focused on the palate, light fruit, tart berry, long sweet green fruit finish, mineral echoes; great rosé. (1562 views)
 Tasted by jorivesud on 8/11/2014 & rated 90 points: Pêche claire.
Au nez, pêches, canelle, fleurs.
En bouche, pêches, bien équilibré. Aucun résiduel. Excellent comme d'habitude. (1893 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 7/29/2014 & rated 89 points: I have been drinking a lot of this lately. For whatever reason, this bottle seemed a bit less than prior ones. It just didn't seem to have the body or the fruit. It has a glass stopper which was intact. Don't get me wrong. Still a delightful bottle of under $20. Perhaps it was the thunderstorm/tornado warning weather, etc. Maybe, I will save my remaining bottles for hot sunny days. (1971 views)
 Tasted by justmill on 7/24/2014 & rated 88 points: Fairly pale for a rose', which I admit is not my favorite wine. Melon and citrus with notable acidity. Solid crisp summer wine. (1774 views)
 Tasted by derekjohn on 7/22/2014 & rated 85 points: Very pale pink rose in colour. Nose of strawberries, nectarines, hawthorn blossom and spice (cinnamon). Quite full in the mouth and a little more acid than the nose suggests; in addition to the strawberries a hint of lime flowers. (1740 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 7/21/2014 & rated 91 points: Another great bottle. Drinking between a few different wines at a picnic, the texture on this was so superior. Although A light bodied wine and refreshing, it has some presence. Everyone dissed it at first, very pale pink color, yet once tasted, everyone loved it. (1898 views)
 Tasted by MattMauldin on 7/19/2014: Winehound, Santa Barbara- European Wine tasting July 2014: Very light color. Notes of melon, floral, spice and orange. Bright and refreshing, but rich also. Full finish. Very nice. (2408 views)
 Tasted by BoCRon on 7/10/2014 & rated 90 points: Gave as a gift to a friend. She called to thank me and raved about it. I asked her to rate it on a scale and she gave it a 90. (1821 views)
 Tasted by startinoz on 7/3/2014 & rated 89 points: Dusty nose. Vague red fruit flavours. (1786 views)
