Not one of the better Rose wines. It seems more of a blush. Lacked nose and flavor.

Fantastic. The label indicated best 5-7 years after harvest. Drank this bottle which was 9 years old and it was spectacular. It is at its finest. Deep smooth tones and notes. It was truly a great experience.

The wine was perfect with Thanksgiving dinner. The light nose and subtle tones on the palette blended well with the food.

I was disappointed by this wine. Perhaps the cork was loose because the wine did not have the character and flavors that i had remembered when I tasted it before.

The wine was flat and not rounded with muted flavors and no mineralogy or acidity. I admit, I was comparing it to Virginia Viognier, and it just did not make the grade. I was very disappointed.

Spectacular given its age. Nice nose of light fruit. Nice acidity on the tongue with fruit and complexity. This wine may be good for a few more years.
