Sipped on the terrace with 20 degree sun. A nice wine to celebrate the end of summer. 12%. (1028 views) | | | Tasted by srh on 9/7/2019: Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whts, & 8 Reds] from 09/6/19 + 2 Shared, Milton Freewater (Aka: The Rocks) AVA Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): From "the steepest vineyards in the world for P.N.," vines ave 25-35 yrs old; “From steep, south-facing vyds of predominantly weathered slate & greywacke soils, the P.N. grapes are picked by hand & transported to the winery in small boxes, gently processed, with the must being clarified by sedimentation. The cooled & strained fermentation takes place in s/s tanks. After several wks of storage on the lees, the filling takes place after about 6 mos. 12.0% ABV, 8.0 g/L R.S., & 7.6 g/L T.A.”
N: Fragrant minerals & flowers
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (suspect threshold R.S.) counterbalanced by an ALMOST puckerish acidity which QUITE works itself out through the LONG, tangy/swt finish with poss HINTS of raisins. Very nicely done for now & through '21, both as a quaff & with lighter fare. My EXC-/EXC; [This vendor's $20.95 is now $2 < wine-searcher's next lowest.]
Note: Also tasted on 6/1 (2x) & 6/15/18, TNs remarkably consistent. (844 views) | | | Tasted by nicefish on 8/20/2019 & rated 89 points: Delish, but a little closed down just now. (632 views) | | | Tasted by Vinnut on 8/3/2019 & rated 88 points: Light & distinctive bright rose in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, watermelon & some citrus notes with overtones of floral & spice notes & minerals. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & vibrant textured, ripe fruit flavors of fresh strawberries, watermelon & tart cranberries with minerals. Lingering dry & crisp finish. Drinks quite well at present.

N: ATTRACTIVE flowers atop grapes, poss minerals
P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by some init spritzy acidity which evolves into a very LONG, BALANCED finish. For now & likely through '21.

N: Slightly closed; Straws with notes of minerals; Intensity lurking?
P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an init spritzy acidity & ALMOST a puckerish component as it fairly seamlessly morphs into a LONG, tangy/swt finish with just the right amount of very, VERY slight bitterness to be a +. VERY nicely done for now & through '21! 12.0% ABV; My EXC-/ EXC.

N: FRAGRANT minerals & flowers slightly atop grapes
P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by a bit of spritzy acidity which turns ALMOST puckerish as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a LONG, tangy/swt finish with just enough very, VERY slight bitterness to be a +.
