Ya know . . . For the price of an Abe Lincoln this rose' drinks pretty darn nicely as a summertime patio quaff. A paler copper/rose with more reluctant legs than previous vintages, it's still a crowd pleaser with a savory palate leaning more toward herbs and minerals than fruit. An expectedly short finish. Easily rates in the mid-80's, with a few extra points for QPR, provided you're not looking for a lush, fruit-forward offering. Consider it a baby Miraval rose', whose flavor profile it generally mirrors.

Mild red watermelony fruit, hints of floral notes, a little acid, just a touch off-dry. Quaffably refreshing and fairly priced at $5 but also unmemorable. 82-83.
Update: no deterioration to speak of after a couple days in the fridge.

Bone dry and acidic, but still quaffable. Great summer wine.

Decent red fruit, a hunt of mineral, some spice on the finish
