We first tasted this wine at the vineyard in August 2015. I don't drink much rose, so certainly I do not consider myself an expert, but this wine was different and special; I just didn't know what type of food to pair it with. It had a lovely floral nose with a little sweetness to it and a mouth filling taste of light fruits, white peach, maybe a hint of vanilla, or perhaps more exotic fruits. We bought some and decided to try it with Thai food.

Was really looking forward to this guy. Popped to go with turkey sandwiches on the day after Thanksgiving. Drank at just above cellar temp.
Was surprised how much the alcohol showed here. Still a lovely wine, and some lovely fruit, but didn't really hit me in the right spot. Might have been better served more chilled. In any event, while nice and a great pairing, hard to see myself shelling out $80 for this in the future.

Quite interesting. A bit of heat, lots of ruby grapefruit, and hint of lemon on the nose and palette. Much closer to a white than a red. I would like to try again to get better notes next time.

2015 Napa Trip - Day 1 (Napa, CA): One of the better Roses i have ever had. Merlot, Cab Franc and Malbec. Watermelon and white peach. Very crisp and clean. I kind of want to try it closer to room temp to see its full expression.

"Big" texture - "voluptuous"; some viscosity, but still correct pitch of acid sting; holds 14.2 alc well. Perfumed tomato, waxy berry, clean lemon. Attractive. Flawless, nothing to complain about - except price.
