Clear, pale yellow in glass. Subtle nose that smelled spritzy (no frisante in glass). Lime peel was primary component on nose, some other faint citrus notes as well. Dry wine on the palate showing a light body with crisp acicity. Good balance between the fruit, acid, and alcohol. Medium finish on the palate. Front palate nails the nose exactly, mid palate transitions to a little more of a lemon zest, pear, and hint of watermelon. Finishes with green apple and lemon juice.
Overall, solid bottle. Have had better and worse at the price point. Can find everywhere so a good go to if you have to buy something in a large grocery store. Not something I would seek out to stock the cellar with

I think a lot of people will like it but it was a pass for me. Beautiful nose that had me really hyped for the wine but tasted somewhat thin to me. Can't bash the wine though, I see what they were going for and I think they succeeded in that as well. If it sounds up your alley I would say it is something to give a look at.

This is a lighter style rose. Consumed about a month ago and have forgotten the flavors sadly, but good floral notes in the wine, nice balance of the acidity, and just a refreshing wine. Would pair well with lighter foods.
