Very dark for a rose, looked more like pinot noir. Needed to decant based on sediment. The wine also gave off a shimmering glitter-like quality which was quite odd. Red berry aromas on the nose and palate with more body and heft than a typical rose. If served blind this could have been mistaken for a light pinot or Cali sangiovese. Not very complex or memorable. An ok wine but definitely would not rebuy based on qpr. However, the wine could have been slightly past its prime as it didn't seem "fresh".

Good acidity, minerality, and fruit. A bit dark, but the flavor profile is deliciously deep for a rose.

Very sud de france style. Lots of forward Mourvedre fruit. I would buy lots more.

Very nice Rose, very much in the style of the south of France. Perfect for a hot afternoon.
