Awesome spring/summer juice for a warm evening. Lots of orange, peach, honey and lots of acidity. Probably goes with whatever you are eating.

Medium to light body for a rhone blend. The touch of white grapes adds some great complexity. Nice fruits me some spice, very well balanced. Decanted a few hours and this was drinking very well.

Needs time to open up. Very dusty and restrained. Started to open after a couple hours, but I didn't give it enough time.

This wine has had it. We stumbled on it while organizing our cellar and opened it up. It was not great to begin with if I remember correctly and is certainly over the hill. There was a small burst of some tropical fruits in the first glass, but it immediately fell flat. Unfortunately, after it had been open couple hours it was undrinkable.

ripe red fruit, like biting into a handful of raspberries. very well balanced and light mouth feel. the wine has started to mellow out and is on the lighter more delicate side in terms of pairing with food. overall an excellent wine.

Still drinking well, but might be on the way out. Fruit was a little muted even after a couple hours in the decanter. If you are holding on to some of this, I'd say open it up.

A more full bodied rose than I anticipated, but was a very refreshing treat on a hot day. Also more complex than I thought, making it a great match for a lot of foods. A good all purpose bbq wine or for sitting on the porch.

Wine seemed a bit flat/flabby shortly after opening and never really opened up. I expected more from this bottle and was disappointed.

An interesting change from Sonoma Pinot Noir, more fruit and more acidity. Not a wine to sip on its own, but once paired with food it showed much better. We matched it with a grilled strawberry pork tenderloin which worked out well.

not quite as fresh anymore, flavors of pineapple and peaches are muted, mineral quality still shines through, refreshing wine on its way downhill.

A very full bodied Rose. Deep garnet in color and lots of ripe fruit. Enjoyed it more as it warmed up a bit closer to cellar temp rather than from the fridge. Can stand up to food more than most Roses.

A heavy and dense sparkler with concentrated loads of nuttiness and toast. Hard to imagine this improving further, drink it now.
