Brine, white asparagus, dried herbs, some dust. Light toward medium body, with subtle fruit flavors slightly overwhelmed by flavors of place. Salty, some savory. The Carignan component (40%) seems to dominate, with the Syrah (30%) a pretty close second - the Grenache (component) just seems lost. I won't purchase again, though I am glad to have tried it. 13,0% abv, drink thru 2015

Portland: The city of Rosés! (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Soft, nice and fruity aromas. Moderate medium bodied texture, creamy, with an impressive slightly under ripe strawberry coupled with nice acid. Good flavors on the finish, but a slight metallic notion runs through it. Good coating nature and acidity.

A cut above a standard rose. Didn't take notes while drinking it.

Spontaneous Blind Tuesday night Rhone Varietals (Portland, Oregon): Corked. What fruit was there showed great promise though. Nice color.
