Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Battleship on 10/14/2009 & rated 91 points: Excellent depth but at the same time a light, dry minerality that is great for warm summer sipping and accompanying summer foods. (1744 views)
 Tasted by BillB656 on 6/23/2007: Now this is fun! Vibrant black cherry, tobacco and floral notes with a peppery, citrus finish. Thoroughly enjoyable fruit with good overall structure. Extremely slurpable, goes well with macaroni w/red sauce or by itself. (1926 views)
 Tasted by kenito799 on 5/17/2007 & rated 88 points: Delicious and crisp, extremely refreshing. Salmon pink color. Citrus, lemons, grapefruit at first, watermelon in the finish. A bit less complex and vegetal than I recall from the 05. WHile this is a lovely dry rose I was not as thrilled this year. (2085 views)

2016 vintage:
