Grenache, Cinsault - startlingly pale. Very delicate. Ethereal and sophisticated or underpowered and slightly vapid? For me more the latter than the former

My last bottle from last summer. This is still nice, but like most roses, IMO, it doesn't offer up that fresh vibrant fruit once it gets more than a year from vintage. It is still refreshing and a solid wine. There is some generic red watery red fruit. A nice texture. Goes well with food. Time to start drinking the 14's.

very light color, almost yellowish. delicate white peach aroma, hints of white flowers and wet stones. a very light rose (lighter than most from provence). peaches and light orange rind zestiness. refreshing minerality. almost no sweetness (again, compared to provence). good for sipping, although the lack of sweetness and high minerality make it hard to enjoy more than a glass or two

This is, without a doubt, the lightest rose I've ever seen. It is almost indistinguishable from a white. On the nose, floral bouquet with tropical melons. On the palette, honeydew, a tiny bit of pineapple, and plenty of melon rind. Seriously, it's as clear as water. Not a bad rose, but questionable at $17 even with the elegant bottle.

Rainier cherry, white flower, herb and mineral notes on both the nose and palate. Light in color and light on its feet. Medium acidity and minerality though a somewhat short finish. Fresh and refreshing.

Clear, very light pale salmon. Light white peach, white fruit nose. Medium bodied, mineral/saline some white fruit good body longer finish than most. Has more structure/body and mineral flavor than any rose I have tried.

Very light Rosé. Subtle notes of melon, light strawberries and flowers and light acidity. Still refreshing, easy going happy hour or afternoon summer wine.

Had 4 of these bottles over the weekend with friends. I love it. It has everything I am looking for in Rose. Elegant, really easy drinking, beautiful peachy colour, soft fruit, maybe a bit little on the nose. If you look for a rose for easy summer drinking then this is the perfect choice. I believe this to be pretty much on par and drinking very similar to the Domaine Ott, which I love, but this comes at a much more reasonable price point (just over £10). Just ordered another 6 bottles in case we get an Indian summer. Not very likely in London, but I cannot risk running out.

Super pale pink with hardly any hue; steely mineral on the nose with faint strawberry, cherry, smells dry and taut; very focused on the palate, light fruit, tart berry, long sweet green fruit finish, mineral echoes; great rosé.

I have been drinking a lot of this lately. For whatever reason, this bottle seemed a bit less than prior ones. It just didn't seem to have the body or the fruit. It has a glass stopper which was intact. Don't get me wrong. Still a delightful bottle of under $20. Perhaps it was the thunderstorm/tornado warning weather, etc. Maybe, I will save my remaining bottles for hot sunny days.

Very pale pink rose in colour. Nose of strawberries, nectarines, hawthorn blossom and spice (cinnamon). Quite full in the mouth and a little more acid than the nose suggests; in addition to the strawberries a hint of lime flowers.

Another great bottle. Drinking between a few different wines at a picnic, the texture on this was so superior. Although A light bodied wine and refreshing, it has some presence. Everyone dissed it at first, very pale pink color, yet once tasted, everyone loved it.

Peche claire. Très beau nez sur les petites fruits(fraises, framboises), peches et melon. En bouche, peches, melon miel, cantaloup, bonne acidité, bonne longueur. Excellent rosé.

The wine is very pale, almost no color to it, just the slightest copper hue. The nose is very nice. It starts out with tangerine rind and then morphs more into strawberries. Some melon also with air. On the palate, this is smooth with nice citrus and strawberries. There is a slight bitterness to it, that is not bad, but I could live without it. Very food friendly. At about $18, this is good value as a cocktail or with dinner.

Nose: strawberry, peach
Palate: peaches and white pepper
Not a typical rosé where I get a ton of strawberries. Leans mic more on the side of peaches and apricots.

Delicate and delicious, a rose that never fails to please. I really need to learn to purchase more while it's still available, but never do.

Pêche claire.
Au nez, pêches, canelle, fleurs.
En bouche, pêches, bien équilibré. Aucun résiduel. Excellent comme d'habitude.

Fairly pale for a rose', which I admit is not my favorite wine. Melon and citrus with notable acidity. Solid crisp summer wine.
