  May 14, 2019 - My contention is that well-made, intentional, or as I call them "True Rosés" can age well, even gracefully. Case in point: solid red berry fruit on the nose with a splash of citrus emerge from this pale pink with a slight orange tint wine. The palate is bright and tangy with fruit, albeit subtle at first, but it grows more intense on the mid-palate, and finishes quite fruity as well. I know this was fantastic upon release, but I dare say it might, just might be better now. thedrunkencyclist.com

  October 19, 2017 - Popped and poured. Very tasty rose' with all of the pedigree of a southern French wine. Not sure it's worth the $30, but paired well with a charcuterie board. 89pts.

  September 8, 2017 - To the nose, very slight strawberry and red cherry plus a flower or other fruit (passion fruit? what flower?). Saline - salty. On the palate, raspberry out ranks strawberry or cherry, and melon joins in. Minerality is obvious with saline. Greater round mouth feel and length than Whispering Angel. At mid to finish, slight orange peel (plus what else?). Certainly more complex that Whispering Angel! Overall, more towards Tavel style than drier Provence. Like it better than Whispering Angel, but for price paid you have more options.

  May 4, 2017 - Light, bright flavor of strawberry and orange rind. Creamy and silky texture. I like it and my wife likes it even more. It is better than most but not sure if it is enough better to justify the extra tariff....getting better as it warms and clearly the best Rose we have had in the last couple of years.
