September 21, 2023 - Pleasant, and on the austere end of Rosé. Good with food; not particularly a stand-out, but well-made. Likely not a rebuy, but I so seldom drink Rosé that that qualification carries little weight. FWIW, my all-time favorite Rosé remains the offering by L'Aventure (though it's been some years since I've had any.)
July 23, 2021 - 2013 vintage, recent purchase on sale at Astor. Hard not to say sherry like. On top of the sherry you have raspberry and bazooka gum on the nose but also smells like the ocean a bit. Palette opens up with a ephemeral bit of candied fruit bomb that quickly leads to intense honeyed black licorice and tonic, evolves into a decaying tonka bean finish. Unctuous mouthfeel. Extremely long finish and a journey with every sip.
August 19, 2018 - Light, fresh and a bit of spice on the finish. Lovely rose. A
June 10, 2017 - Very well structured rose, deep orange in color. Cherries, red currants, and hints of citrus and minerals in the nose and flavor. Well balanced and a very pleasant finish. Paired well as the opening wine with our charcuterie plate.
May 27, 2017 - My first bottle of this. Outstanding Rose. Orange in color, which was a surprise, but a great "balance" in both nose and palate. Light, but interesting fruit and mineral combination - but some pepper as well. Nice length and finish. I like the Vinous reference to Chablis, but with some spice. Really nice and in the moment I think the most enjoyable Rose I have had to date. A
November 4, 2016 - Cool and collected, but with ripe red fruit and excellent energy. Perfect balance. A unique and lovely rose. Beautiful at this point but time in hand.
October 12, 2016 - A light salmon rosé with floral qualities and melon flavors and just a very slight nuttiness at the end (on purpose). It makes it better able to go with more complex food like a crusted fish dish. Not your normal young summer fruit rosé, but not in the Spanish oxidized vein either.
September 10, 2015 - Jnewman77's note is pretty apt. This is a lovely, interesting, unusual and distinct rosé. It is very smooth and round in the mouth, shows light red fruit with notes of roses, canteloupe and orange zest, and dried potpourri on the finish. Really stands apart from the sea of rosé out there.
June 17, 2015 - Tasty rose; Bandol like in mouthfeel and structure. Nose with lots of melon, cantaloupe, strawberry, mineral notes, and orange peel. The palate has an unctuous note to it that adds to the depth and there is still enough acidity to keep it fresh. Definitely a more serious styled rose that is better with some food, not a simple fresh quaffer.
May 17, 2015 - Red and summer fruit. Beautiful mouthfeel. Long finish. Decent acidity. Different and very good
