Wow...I've been drinking lots of whites and this is a nice break. Good French or Spanish rose is special. Barque nose with bright strawberry/raspberry fruit mid-palette. Good crispness. Ruby red in the glass. I want to live in the Mediterranean. I bought three cases of this and I'm down to 3 bottles. This was a great find, Cameron.

My first of the Cameron Hughes wines, picked up in Taiwan for a very good price, relatively speaking. Nice watermelon and cherry on the nose, a hint of fresh garden leaves, nothing as strong as mint, but pleasant; decent mouthfeel with more cherries, and a very pleasing acidity, finished better as it opened up; a good wine and a very good QPR. Well done.

Last bottle. Getting a bit long in the tooth for a rose. Still great.

A gorgeous dry rose which truly captures Spanish masculinity--the Conquistadors. Men and kings of valor.

Confusing to me...not rose...not red...flavorful, but not in a fruity way...still ruminating over the experience.
