Dark ruby color with a garnet edge, dark berries on the nose with a backing of tart cherry and subtle earth components. Great mouth feel and acidic balance showing a wealth of unresolved fruit texture on the palate. This should develop well...

Medium to dark cranberry color and a nose that needs a little help opening up if served cold...but shows firm red berries with a nod to strawberry with coolness and opens to dark berries as it warms. Not for the light hearted, and when chilled can be deceiving...more approachable cool, and goes nuts as it warms...quite an interesting ride for a rose. Great personality of textures at both ends of the spectrum making for a cerebral rose...and yes, there was a tad of spritz on opening...not detracting for me...but there none the less that faded with time.

Medium clear cranberry color with a nice ruby hue...clean nose showing dark cherry and some earthy qualities. Rather assertive expression...good fruit notes and framework leaving a nice lingering finish. Found at the Cheese Shop in Carmel...nice surprise.
