(A Donkey and Goat Isabel's Cuvee Grenache Rose) #1; COLOR-darker rose; NOSE-like an artificial butter spray aspect; lilac component; a subtle rhubarb; PALATE-this is phenominal; one of the better Rose's I've had in the last 3 years; this wine has enormous complexities and great balance of acid on the back-end; like pure berry juice; a little cherry play as well; great weight and viscosity; this is spectacular; GV-91+

Surprisingly, this is still drinkable, although noting like it was two years ago.A tribute, I guess, to Jared and Tracey making serious wine as opposed to just bleeding off juice. But it was hardly a good summer wine. It had no delicacy and there was a mild flare of alcohol on the finish. Basically, it tasted like jug wine. Still one of my favorite roses. I met Isabel the day I bought this and she was darling.

What the F happened? Complete nail polish remover. Oxidized with a screw cap? Or was it volatile acidity?

I drank this after it had been open for a day. Really dipped in quality from my previous tastest. Tasted very artificial and lacked fruit. Bright and clean.

Nothing terribly new with this. A few notches below our last bottle. Still a lot of buttered toast but a little bitter.

Very good. Nose of wheat toast with butter, strawberry and some watermelon. Good heft to this wine. It had nice complexity and balance with a good finish. Nice rose.
