Very tasty rosé. The nose is quite shy with raspberry scented wet stone as the only detectable feature. The palette is quite expressive with an intersting mix of vanilla, pear, tart raspberry and savory mineralty. Smooth, bright texture with quite a long finsih. I'm not sure if rosé gets any better than this. 7-18-9-8

This wine came a long way in a year. I can't say it is really worth the price, but a far more interesting rosé at this point (last bottle was 100% meh).

I don't drink rosé often, so I don't have a lot to compare this to. With that said, this was very nice. It paired perfectly with seared tuna over basil fried rice. The nose was a little shy - offering only subtle tart fruit with a wet stone undertone. The palette, however, redeemed the nose a little with citrus laced with salinity, minerality and a very nice (and food worthy) acidic backbone. A fairly long finish is bookended by a savory mid and a pleasant lasting bitter sweet note. 6-17-9-8
