I found this rose to be very pleasant, and I would definitely purchase this again to have on hand to appeal to the white wine drinking crowd.

Nice structure. Blackberry and dark fruits but not jammy.

Lots of peach flavors

Well structured zin with dark fruits without being too jammy for the price point. I would definitely get again for my everyday go to wine.

Definitely Venturi this wine to allow it to open up.

Strong blackberry flavors. Comparable to a nice zin.

11/4/2017 - Toprope Likes this wine:

Well-balanced notes of dark fruit. No need to Venturi right out of the bottle because it drinks so smoothly.

10/21/2017 - Toprope Likes this wine:

Strong blackberry flavors similar to a zin, but a smooth, well-rounded cab.

Good summertime wine with plenty of peach notes and semi-sweet.

Found it slightly acidic but not too over the top. Your basic everyday wine.

Some drank fruit undertones which pairs nicely with chocolate.

Hints of peach. Not as sweet as I remember it from the winery.

8/16/2017 - Toprope Likes this wine:

Smooth, dark wine with aromas of raspberry, dark cherry and slight mocha.

Notes of minerality.

This tempranillo has more dark fruit flavors typical of a cab or red blend. There is not as much cherry flavor which many tempranillos have. I would let it breathe for a while or Venturi it to open up the flavors, but Jeff Runquist produces a solid tempranillo. I keep going back for it (and their Barbera!).

I am not typically a pinot noir girl, but I like this wine. Subtle body and not the typical earthy or green pepper undertones of most pinots.

10/8/2016 - Toprope Likes this wine:

Has excellent body for a merlot. Can drink well on its own or pair with just about any meat. I am really glad our friends belong to Girard Winery.

Not my favorite wine from this winery. Too dry with not enough fruit flavors.

As far as a rose goes, this one is decent. It did not hold up after a few days though and became acidic. So...drink it in one sitting.

Decent wine for price point.

4/6/2016 - Toprope Likes this wine:

Light and fruity - not too dry. Reminds me of a sweeter viognier. Great on a warm spring day on the patio. Perfect for those who think chardonnays are too oaky or buttery but don't want a super sweet white wine.

Paired nicely with our bbq steaks. Lots of dark fruit and balanced tannis.

Opened this wine up with the picnic. Now I know why this is the favorite of their 3 zins, well-balanced fruit, rich.

Some dark fruits and a slight spice. This wine definitely needed to breathe to open it up. It actually was better the next day after breathing. It did not have the tobacco spice undertone that some Chilean wines have which was nice.
