As much as I love other CRB wines, this rose was completely forgettable. Musty with a vegetal (roots) notes, there's not much going on here. A little dull, acid is fine but this lacks depth.

Quite a change from the last bottle I opened, showing the same fresh berried fruit but with an unusual brothy savouriness I've never come across before in a rosé. Still a touch soft by CRB standards though.

As others describe, this is light and delicate and a decent quaffer, but it lacks some acidic vibrancy. Drank better with perrier for lunch the next day, but seemed even flatter on its own at that time. Certainly nothing wrong with it, just nothing too exciting.

In Memory of Joe Dressner (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Very light color. Some melon rind flavors. Light weight and not much of an impression.
