On the rich side of the spectrum, but balanced. Ripe fruit (grapefruit, watermelon, kiwi/strawberry Snapple) is offset by bitter rind and black pepper. Good acidity keeps this refreshing and focused.
I like this especially because it's more down to earth than the BG single vineyard Pinot Noirs. I still like those now and then, but their Teflon polish is getting old. This bottling, on the other hand, just tastes like delicious, honest, dry Rose.

- Rosy color with slow forming legs and aromas of grapefruit. It's balanced and has flavours of grapefruit and black pepper with a light/medium body. Linear texture with a medium finish - Try with a salad with avocado and grapefruit sections. Great compliment to a citrus dish.

Looks like watermelon fruit punch in the glass, and it *is* pretty delicious. Very fruity and hard to stop drinking. I liked it. Can Belle Glos make a wine I don't like? I haven't found one yet.

Working down some very old Rose! Was bright red but surprisingly not overpowering and fairly well refined. Went great with summer sausage!

Light to medium rose, hint of fruit, very easy drinking.

May have been past it's prime or suffering from poor storage. Not quite as vibrant as I expected.
