  Nice strawberry, slight cherry, dry, nice salinity, slight herbal?, slight citrus, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

  If ever a wine smelled and tasted like strawberries, this is it. Not in a candied way, but fresh, slightly tart, berries. It is dry, but the strawberry notes are very strong. There is some nice minerality underneath the fruit. Nice wine, no need to age it further.

  less candy than in my last tasting notes. It came with more mineral and stone with a nice acidic spine that beckons you sip after sip. This one is a worthy challenger to du Bagnol.

  Coppery colored with a hint of pink. Interesting nose that’s very Chablis - gentle citrus, white peach, sea spray and cherry (obviously not Chablis). Nose and palate were very tight at first but opened up after an hour or so.
  
  Palate has a distinct saline note, plenty of bing cherries and some cranberry. Sea spray too. Very full bodied and textured mouthfeel for a rose with high acidity and a distinctive long finish.
  
  This is a relatively expensive rose at $35, but is a step up in complexity vs most wines in the $20-25 range and is certainly in the top tier of roses around this price point. Maybe give it another year to open up some more.

  Not a "pale" rose by any stretch - but an interesting coppery-pink.
  Nose of strawberry kiwi Snapple.
  Palate of strawberry dumdum and watermelon jolly ranchers. But where it gets interesting is the long finish that transitions to a tart clementine and pith on top of a crystalline lemon. The initial flavors will please a crowd. The finish will please the wine nerds (although they may accuse the profile of being too “basic”). Will this taken down Tempier this year? We'll see.
