Yes, a delightful little rose. Grenache, syrah, mourvedre, counoise. It has tart peach, unripe mango, moderate weight, great acidity and freshness. Quite enjoyable

This is a great rosé: well-balanced fruit, pleasing color and scent, light in weight but not weightless, fresh, and with a finishing spice note. At 11.5% alcohol, this is a perfect glass for a mid-week lunch on a Spring day.

Shimmering light salmon with coppery tinge. Nose floral with delicate apricot and peach, hint of wax, very nice. Palate light, limpid, refreshing lime and tart peach with some citrus pith, some rocky minerality and a savory tinge. Almost watery at first but better with warming. Definitely on the lighter side for a rose, could be a bit too subtle for some. 90 pts

Mostly from the Dunningan Hills with red volcanic soil and very hot. THey are picking the syrah for the 2019 vintage tomorrow. Pear and peachy aromas. Wow, apparently '16 and '17 was picked July 28. Juicy and cranberry tartness on the palate. Super tasty.

A very ‘earthy’ rose. Main varietals are Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise blend. The grapes are supposed to be pressed in whole clusters so I attributed some of the bitterness I tasted to that. The fruit forward nature of the varietals do provide the wine with a great balanace. A great pairing wine for the summer and also very good in its own.

Perhaps this bottle is past its prime but it was flat, rather tasteless, kind of salty.

Subtle on the nose. Cranberry and lemon rind on the palate, finishes with a nice savory spice note that I like. Enjoyable.

Saline nose with hints of tangerine and dry heath. Crisp refreshing and sweet on the palate with a fresh bite at the back and clean acid finish.
