Simply beautiful. Pungent, but has very good balance and brightness. Could pass for a Provencal rose except for the cherry notes. The fruit and airiness are in alignment: well done.

Tasted at the tasting room, and again a week later out of the bottle over two days (vac-sealed and refrigerated in between sessions.)
Seems a bit disjointed. This doesn't offer a lot on the nose. At first it has a nice delicate character that I like - it does have a nice savory charter, as TheBottleneck points out - but a bit of an alcohol bite overshadows an otherwise zesty finish. Reminds me of the rough finish on Eyrie's 2014 pinot blanc, but that wine holds together a bit better than this.
Interesting to taste the 2015 Eyrie pinot noir rose side-by-side, as it's a completely different animal.

Crisp, delicious, and great with food. The nose has strawberry, melon, and hints of tart raspberry with some herb, saline and iodine notes. The palate has lovely freshness, but still has very nice depth as well. Really tasty, just enjoyable to take sip after sip. Great with tomatillo salsa enchiladas.

Delightful rose. Crisp, bright, and juicy. Full of red berry notes and some floral perfume. Great for the summer.
