January 10, 2024 - Fun little wine. Lively orange and strawberry aromatics. Bone dry palate.
August 29, 2021 - Served blind to friends, which was a little mean given how hard this wine is to figure. Color is somewhere between rose and salmon. This drinks like a relatively young white burg. Nose has some berries but also lots of melon, florals and mineral. Medium bodied palate with round, plush fruit that is mostly melons and still decidedly fresh. A fun blanc de noir from MSD.
August 25, 2019 - Very light, almost ethereal, very light watery color. Lost between the other great roses here. Tournament of Rosés, from Eric of Epicurus.
August 26, 2018 - A little disappointing after all the other unicorn roses. Not giving up much, a bit boring. Stick to red. Tournament of Rosés
July 31, 2018 - Last bottle. Wish I had more. Serious food wine. Nicely structured, good acid balance. Strawberries with restraint. Earth. Orange peel. Bitter finish. In the same category as Cotât Sancerre Rose. Had with a cream sauced chicken. Fabulous.
April 21, 2018 - FWE gala. Light pink, fun.
March 3, 2018 - Paulee. Fun one...
March 3, 2018 - La Paulée de San Francisco - Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Small glass, brief note. Charming and bright sense of early season strawberries.
March 3, 2018 - La Paulée de SF Gala Dinner (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Quite the curveball at the La Paulee Gala dinner amongst our Grand Cru white starters, but this was a real treat. Quite a substantial Rose with good power and freshness. Would love to revisit on a sunny summer day.
July 2, 2017 - Really started to show its age. Nose cleaned up with time but think best to drink now.
