Community Tasting Note

  July 3, 2018 - Coravin 7/3/18: Deep rose pinkish-reddish-orange color; nose is aromatic, red fruits, medicinal red fruits (cherry cough syrup), grass, slight honey; palate is medium bodied (more viscous texture than expected for a rose), red fruit, slight bitterness through midpalate, light tannin, medium acidity; medium finish. This is a thoughtful rose, but still obviously grenache-based, and I'm not confident I love grenache based roses. More interesting than enjoyable for me, so I would not buy again. 85
  7/7: With air the cherry cough syrup fruit becomes a bit fresher cherry, though the wine always comes across as a a tad high in alcohol (because it is, 14%). This does develop a bit of mint and green at the right temperature and time open. Enjoyable, would be good as a standard rose at $25, but I don't get the specialness compared to a rose such as Musar in the same price range. 85-86
