Excellent. Minimal oak. Lemon curd, good acid balance. Much more like a Chablis than new word. Can't recommend more highly. Drinking really well and feels like it has a long life ahead.

Nose of wild strawberry and grapefruit, very appealing. Color is pale pink, almost salmon. Very high acid with little fruit showing, very dry with a hint of white pepper in the finish. I suspect this will age reasonably well. Not a typical, highly approachable, rose, but a good food wine for a rich dish that needs a high acid wine to stand up to it. Looking forward to letting this one sit in the cellar for awhile and seeing how it evolves.

Very one dimensional wine. Not impressed.
