Clearly one of my fav's Rose i've tried in recent memory - has it all for my palate without being "off-dry". @ Deluca ~21$. Great QPR. Of note, there are 2 rose's and may be logged in 2 spots - clearly this is Estate Cuvee, but this entry doesn't specify this, yet label is same...So, this is has nice nose of light red fruit. Palate is nice with acid and structure and comes off tasty and refreshing. Medium bodied with light bright red berry fruit and maybe a touch of apple. Rounds out nice. Finish is long and transisitions with a touch of a floral quality - but just a hair.

Very nice, complex and would highly recommend folks give this a go this summer, esp for the heat wave we seem to all be feeling. Great mid-afternoon or full on dinner wine.

Strawberry and stone fruit aromas. Tons of acid. Maybe Bellissimo is right in that it needs some food, but I found it distracting. Good strawberry flavors, but not quite as nice as the 2010 version.

"Drink Pink" Rose Festival 2012 - 17 different wineries sampling rose only. Not sure where this was in my tasting lineup, surprised I could read my notes after so many tastings. :) In the glass: Strong pink color. On the nose: Indistinct fruit. In the mouth: medium body, nice tart acidity. Nice overall. Retail $18

Served with Ahi on the grill and an Asian salad. Wine showed better than the fish and maybe on par with the salad. Rhubarb, strawberry, nice acid levels. Crisp and refreshing.

Willamette Valley - Tasted at winery: Surprised by quality of this wine. Not expected. Fresh, crisp and fruity but not flabby. Nice nose of blueberries and cherries. Great QPR at $15. (Doris: yes)

PnP, didn't take detailed notes. Light and crisp in a rhubarb / strawberry sort of way. Have plenty more of these and will offer a more thorough review later.

Very crisp and fresh. Some tart taste with good acid and slight tannins. Good with or without food.

Great QPR at $15. Grapefruit, other citrus. Medium body, soft tannins. Hints of layers and east drinking.

Last of the 6+ from this past summer. Nice tartness mixed with strawberry. Nice acids make it very food friendly.

PnP, didn't take detailed notes. Served with salmon dinner and it was certainly enjoyable but not thought provoking. Welcome to summer.
