 Tasted by travelme on 7/6/2012 & rated 86 points: See previous notes...consistent with those. Our last bottle of this one and no 2011 available so we have tried some other Rose wines recently. (1603 views)
 Tasted by kgbw on 3/8/2012 & rated 84 points: unfortunately, not as dry as i remembered it when i tasted it in Napa. (1703 views)
 Tasted by travelme on 9/6/2011 & rated 87 points: This wine is a dark ruby red in color and has a great smell on the nose. It tastes unlike many Rose wines you will find that in many instances never should have seen the light of day. A really nice bottle. Wife is a big Rose fan. I usually enjoy a deeper red wine with more complexity but I must say this hit the spot and was a wonderful bottle for the price. Think with my wine club that it ran about $15. Would make a great summer sipping wine to have over a nice dinner or paired with pizza, BBQ grilled meats, or a nice spicy Asian dish. Tasted great with our pizza and and various other appetizers we had at Boca Pizzeria. Highly recommended if your a Rose fan. The 2010 is even better in my opinion. (1743 views)
 Tasted by CBJB on 6/5/2011 & rated 84 points: Great with on a hot summer night. We drank it with pizza and the combination was just perfect for the season. (1851 views)

Syrah

Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)

Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
