| | Tasted by cartime on 5/16/2013 & rated 90 points: Still alive, but definitely drink up this summer. Starting to lose its precision. A consistent favorite year after year, though. (3989 views) |
| | Tasted by tantotinto on 5/9/2013 & rated 88 points: David_T described this wine perfectly below. (2825 views) |
| | Tasted by Woodbridge Brad on 4/24/2013 & rated 86 points: Lost the cellar so drinking this one a bit later than normal. The wine is holding well with a fresh nose, good acid, and dash of tannin. It had thrown some tartrates, but it is still a nice clean dry rose. (3988 views) |
| | Tasted by xwine on 11/7/2012: Elegant, crisp, light red fruit (raspberries?), very well balanced. (4414 views) |
| | Tasted by Allman74 on 11/4/2012 & rated 89 points: Clean, fresh taste. Relatively dry, could use a bit more acid but for $12-$13 its a great value and a super summer wine. (2692 views) |
| | Tasted by wabi47 on 9/2/2012 & rated 87 points: good watermelon and strawberry with a bit of mineral; a bit softer and less vibrant than i recall (1831 views) |
| | Tasted by Enfant sauvage on 8/27/2012 & rated 90 points: The perfect beach wine. (1856 views) |
| | Tasted by ctbob on 8/16/2012: V. good; drink now (1719 views) |
| | Tasted by Colima74 on 8/5/2012 & rated 90 points: Good acidity and fruit. Been a dependable summer rose. (1643 views) |
| | Tasted by Urban Vines on 8/3/2012 & rated 88 points: great import from Kermit Lynch and drink while it's fresh but not too cold. A bit too much fruit for me for a Frenchie but that's the region. Good blend of varietals and wonderful nose as it warms up while drinking - even better when open for a bit. Only $11 from our store (1719 views) |
| | Tasted by David_T on 7/22/2012 & rated 88 points: Pleasant aromas of watermelon, red cherry & biscuit dough. The flavors match the nose perfectly, with light acid & a mid-length finish. Easy-drinking and refreshing. (1236 views) |
| | Tasted by Enfant sauvage on 7/6/2012: Either slight bottle variation or (more likely) state of mind variation. Still fantastic value, summertime in a glass. This bottle was even better on day 2. $12 well spent. (1750 views) |
| | Tasted by drinkfunkyanddance on 7/4/2012: Fantastic wine for the price, refreshing. Probably the quintessential rosé. I want it in a big bottle. (1821 views) |
| | Tasted by Gail and Len on 6/23/2012: We both love this Rose. Dry and more flavorful than most (1721 views) |
| | Tasted by JE on 6/16/2012 & rated 89 points: Great wine. Fresh, light, acid with a nice strawberry finish. Great QPR (1818 views) |
| | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 6/15/2012: Damn is this good for its price. (1976 views) |
| | Tasted by Enfant sauvage on 6/11/2012 & rated 90 points: This one was better than my first bottle of 2011. Summertime in a glass. (1863 views) |
| | Tasted by Billigan on 6/11/2012 & rated 89 points: You're at a beachhouse with friends, the weather's hot, and you're serving up several different types of food. What refreshing, all-purpose beverage should one drink under these circumstances? This. (1991 views) |
| | Tasted by slanum on 6/5/2012: Just the right shade of pink. On the nose and palate I believe I detect (but cannot confirm because the producer's and importer's websites are silent upon the point) the presence of a yeast selected for its froot-enhancing properties. It's a little much for me, so that I prefer a glass diluted with an ice cube or two.
A lot of that melony fruitiness has toned down by day 2--this has become a bit more austere and more to my taste. In its price range ($13) this is just fine. (2017 views) |
| | Tasted by Enfant sauvage on 6/4/2012: As always, best cheap rose on the market. There are better things as you move into the $17+ price point, but for $12 this has to be the everyday rose of choice. I have to say, I might prefer last year's offering, but this is still great. No detailed notes -- this is rose! (1887 views) |
| | Tasted by wabi47 on 6/4/2012 & rated 90 points: light to medium body and mouthfeel; nice clean watermelon and some strawberry; ethereal, dry and balanced; ends with a satisfying fine mineral/lemony acidity; the summer patio sipper again this year. (1871 views) |
| | Tasted by zscheiner on 6/2/2012 & rated 90 points: 2011 Rosés (Beltramo's, Menlo Park, CA): Pretty nose of strawberry and flowers. Light to medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Mix of tart and ripe strawberry fruit, touch of lemon. Nice balance and my wotf. (2357 views) |
| | Tasted by RobertDwyer on 5/26/2012 & rated 90 points: Beautiful all around. Light pink-salmon colored. Strawberries and watermelon with a hint of brineyness providing supporting structure and interest. A fantastic value (~$13). (2557 views) |
