 Tasted by Oenecnist on 3/24/2020: Further to my Note of July 22 '19: Opened another bottle to complement simple sauteed fish filets. Holding well: pale pink, some delicate red berry fruit and tartness, good mouthfeel. No detectable decline over the past eight months and still at least notable. (1577 views)
 Tasted by Fcarriera on 9/2/2019 & rated 95 points: I thought it was going to be a BS wine but turned out to be pretty good. Much dryer than I expected. I like it and would buy it again. (1767 views)
 Tasted by Oenecnist on 7/22/2019: Bought 12b online for 8.10/b about a year ago; fifth bottle from the order. Medium pink; subdued fruit nose and body, some tasty bitterness. Perhaps some fruit fade since first bottle about a year ago but still tasty. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable when considering quality, age, and price. (1809 views)
 Tasted by Stephen.Somm on 5/10/2019 & rated 78 points: If you need a cute vase, buy this bottle....

Paid $5 at Trader Joe's. Pale copper color. Citrus, strawberry, and raspberry on the nose. The palate is extremely dry with notes of watermelon, more raspberry, and a hint of minerality. Alcohol is medium and the acidity is medium. Definitely needs food. Disappointing on its own. Just not much there. Will not buy again, not for $5...not for $1. (1960 views)
 Tasted by Chambourcin17 on 4/19/2019 & rated 71 points: Very dry rose. Definitely not fruity. Nothing special about it. Wouldn't drink it by itself. (1968 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 3/3/2019: Still fresh, but not the freshest. Clean and bright acidity, lively enough. Not tons of character but what is the price? (753 views)
