Profound mineral etch, ample acid. Strawberry, plum, seawater. a bit of citrus rind. This remains incredibly compelling, though not improving as far as I can tell.

Enjoyed at a family Easter cookout. Still holding its own, displaying a good mix of light red fruits, solid acidity, and freshness at the finish. Drink now.

My favorite "non-provencal" rose I have tasted. Pale strawberry in color, slight effervescence and freshness. Plenty of acidity to hold up against most lighter dishes. Just a pleasure to drink.

A Pinot Noir based rose, an offering which I always find enjoyable based on the house style and consistency from vintage to vintage. Medium pink color, and light bodied. Balanced with juicy red fruits, terroir infused minerality, and fresh acidity. Medium plus finish. Works with lighter foods. Drink now though mid 2021. Very good.

Sad to see the last bottle of this lovey QPR star go, but rose' is not forever. Holding nicely, but I don't see a reason to push this to the CT drink end of 2022, as I think it could fade. Nice balance of sweet nose and some tart, pale pink, good on its own and worked well with food.

Very light in color and presence. Not sure what to say about this. Very drinkable, but I didn't take any notes. So, I don't feel that I should score it this time around. Some nice fruit and acidity, so a good summer drink by itself or with food. I've very much liked several past vintages of this wine, so a more thoughtful tasting next time will probably produce the same result.

I’ve enjoyed a number of vintages of this, and have admired the style, price, and quality of these Pinot Noir based roses. Hits all the popular attributes: medium pink color, zippy, fresh acidity, light bodied, fruit flavors (watermelon, strawberry, and raspberry) and a noticeable mineral backbone. Finishes very long. Excellent.

This was fabulous. Crisp, juicy, precise and lengthy. Strawberry, melon, cherry and mouth-watering grapefruit notes. Best rosé I have had in quite a while.

Keeps improving. Becoming more integrated and balanced w/o losing too much freshness. Still, probably best to drink now.

Strawberry and cherry. Mineral. Incisive acidity and dripping with flinty minerals. Seawater. Long finish.

A little more emphasis on the sour part of cherry which wasn't to everyone's liking. Floral nose, tight cherry fruit. Just OK.

No notes, but really nice QPR at $13. 12% abv. Drank well over two nights.

Another nice showing, wishing I had bought more of these, for $12, excellent value in a not completely dry watermelon and strawberry fruited rose.
