Nice dry Provencal Rose, typical. Paired with Costco Thai chicken wraps the first day, and grilled hot dogs the second. Very subtle, but very enjoyable for what it is.

Clear pale peachy-pink. Modest nose of pears and plums, and mineral. Slightly musky but refreshing pear and melon palate, with a riper, moderate spice finish. Seems more savory than past bottles.

Drinking very well right now just in time for the warm weather. Much better integrated than what I tasted in the fall. The fruit is more of the white spectrum with some cherries complementing it. Nice length and complexity - overall quite spectacular for the price. Held up very nicely on the 2nd night, so this should drink very well the rest of the year if not into next year. 90+

Nice depth here. Manages to have serious fruit, but still be light and easy to drink. Needed 2-3 hours to integrate right out of the bottle, but delicious afterwards.

the nose is full of fragrant wild berries but in the mouth this wine has personality and strength - a complex and enticing herbal bitterness adds length and intrigue.

Totally enjoyable. Nose of pear, herbs and a bitterness like almonds. Flavors added berries. The outstanding feature was a nose that was consistently present. For such light color there was a lot of flavor and smell going on here.

SImiliar to previous bottles. Crisp, refreshing, mouth watering. A bit lacking in depth and flavors, but not bad for an uncomplicated, warm weather sipper.

Tasted under better conditions than before, but this performed the same. Very light bodied. Some delicate red fruit; prickly and spikey acids are refreshing, but this dropped off quite quickly on the palate. Refreshing, but lacks depth. As much as I like their red wines, this rosé was a bit of a disappointment as I think there are better examples of the genre for the price ($17).

Not the best tasting conditions, as this was drunk at a picnic outdoors. Overall, the impression was positive, although it definitely leaned on the lighter side of the rosé spectrum. Good crisp acidity, although the fruit seemed a bit muted.

From memory. Light pink iced tea. Overall this wine was just a little musty, with muted fruit, just seemed off, perhaps it was too old.

Did I miss something? Dry, almost flavorless, and yet somehow not particularly refreshing either.

Really refreshing. Bone dry. Very enjoyable. The alcohol seemed less prounounced than on earlier bottles.

Celebrating International Grenache Day (Sherry-Lehmann): a pale pink rim on the outside of an otherwise translucent libation, betrays the rose nature of this wine.

Better than the last few bottles. Seems to have hit its stride. Lovely fresh light fruits with refreshing acidity. Went great with grilled trout.

Amazingly balanced fruit and acidity. Was great by itself but even better with a good, soft French cow's milk cheese.
