A few bottles later, this wine continues to deliver. Amber yellow color and nice nose. Apple, pear and citrus with bright acidity and a nectar finish.

Had at Oheka. 10 y.o. screw top still holding up with restrained fruit but nice balance and finish. I wouldn't wait too much longer, though.

8 years on a screw top? You betcha, with at least a couple more to go. Beautiful dark color with a well balanced subdued spicy fruit and excellent finish mark this wonderfully crafted gem.

The sweetness did not seem to be very well integrated. A great value, but not in the same league as some of the white Cote du Rhones.

Shipped fron NJ by the case for a slightly dry but fruity rose that stands up to the more expensive chic alternatives. Add 3 points if you drink it outside on a sunny day.
