Very enjoyable rose with a nose of watermelon and cherry on the nose and palate. Light bodied but has a surprising amount of depth and balanced acidity. The finish is solid and has good length. Overall, this is quite impressive for its purity and balance.

Nose is what really caught my attention. There is a real mineral/graphite presence that hooks me; its there over top some watermelon--intriguing. Taste has a lot of white pepper with dare I say brambly fruit. This is a pretty big rose with minor acids up front and pleasant tannins towards the finish. Different and nice.

Darker rose color than most rose's - maybe that leads the nose to get the big fruit punch and watermelon notes up front, but they were definitely there for me. Only drawback was a touch of heat, but it seemed to drift away after 45 mins or so. Nose carried through to the palate, with a bit of minerality. Defintely a full rose'- but it doesn't go over the edge - still has the crispness and easy drinkin' feel.

Jemrose Dinner @ Marche Moderne in the OC (Marche Moderne, Costa Mesa CA): Tasted next to the Tavel Mordoree. Cool contrast. The Shane was a bit heavier, a bit more forward with watermelon.

A full-bodied rose that is also fruit-forward. A pleasure to drink.
