June 19, 2014 - I've never warmed up to Cab-based (whether Cab Franc or Sauv) rosés, and this one is no exception. This is clearly well made, and in a nice style, but like most of them I find a certain earthy weediness in the flavors which, to me, is not attractive in a rosé -- not awful, but I just prefer grenache and mourvedre. Still, I'll keep trying them on occasion.

June 18, 2014 - Dark salmon; tart raspberry, cherry, strawberry; slight ripe bell pepper nuance with grapefruit notes; searing acid, quite complex, yet still a fun wine. Label is beautiful too. Great summer rose--and stands out from all the Grenache, Pinot Noir based stuff out there.

June 7, 2014 - Very pretty flowery and violetly nose. And then the intense cab franc palate. It works for me, maybe not for others.
