Very slightly corked...not even corked enough to create a good educational moment with the friends we had over. A couple of people who had some wine experience said they could just detect it but only after it was mentioned, and most either couldn't detect it or didn't mind. Aside from that, the wine seemed consistent with my 5/12/2015 impressions.

One glass consumed over ~45 minutes, warming from fridge temp to room temp. I was struck by how bright red this was in the glass, looking like liquid candy. The nose showed ripe strawberries and bright cherries, with floral notes also adding to the mix. This was drier on the palate than expected from the nose, with an edge of cranberry acidity, and I think Dbunk's mention of hibiscus is a good one as well. Medium-bodied, and very enjoyable.

Wines At Our Table; Week of March 29, 2015; 3/23/2015-3/29/2015: Ruby color with vinous red fruit, spice, wet gravel, and a hint of violet aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied, dry and fresh with abundant cherry jolly rancher, strawberry, and spice flavors with complemented by an appealing minerality and fine-grained tannins. Lingering finish

Most complex Rose I've ever had with more weight, body, and structure than I'd expect. Crushed stones, rose water, hibiscus with ripe raspberries. Enticing acid through the finish keeps you drinking and drinking.

Same notes as prior with a little bit more minerality, crushed slate and hint of smoke coming through on this. Excellent Rose.
