Vibrant pink color. Crunchy estery berry fruit. Aromatic with grapefruit and melon rind. Very nice in the mouth - light bodied with a touch of bitterness and zippy medium-plus acid. Can't ask for more in a rose!
Medium minus red in the glass. Bright red fruit, hint of strawberry jam but also perfectly ripe red cherry. I'm a fan of the fruit character here - not over-done, and not overly reductive. Well-integrated subtle oak. Modest alcohol - feels only 13-13.5%. Properly elevated acid. Very nice elegant pinot.
Seems prematurely developed, but there's a lot of pleasure here. Dried flowers, figs, and dark dried cherry. Slight brett. Tannins are already rounded - high tannins, drying. High acid. Elevated alcohol but not high. It seems developed but hasn't blossomed into tertiary notes yet. Not sure where this will go.
