Much like John Cleese being turned into a newt, it got better. Maraschino rhubarb, with some toggling between metals and minerals. As an '18 review noted, a hint of cream; I would also say pork
On the other hand, it also just simply tastes like every rosé ever made, but heavier, both in booze and body
$10 @the Newbury st DeLuca's, but dress nicely or the prejudiced Indian shopkeeper might try to kick you out like he tried to pull with me. Of course, it's Cellartracker, I'm sure everyone dresses nicely, especially while certifying those campesino landscapers aren't malingering again -

November 14, 2020 - I intend this to be the culmination of all Cellartracker reviews of this wine over the past 10 years. But 1st, Maby changes the labels of this manly rosé alot, as they dither on deciding how to appeal to the small, genuinely undecided % of the electorate, and/or individuals transitioning
Yes, it needs to chill, lest it become oppressive
Maraschino rhubarb: I can't believe not a single colleague on this site has noticed the licorice. Also thyme/summer savory/metal
I vetted this for Thanksgiving, and the earthy, dried fruit elements of this probably disqualify, with 2 exceptions: sweet potato & pecan casserole, and the unintended paring of cranberry and dark turkey, when you try to keep them separate, but the plate's only so big, unless your sister in law insults you with a sectioned melamine plate, in which case, Xie Xie! -

July 23, 2018 - Outstanding rosé, one of best I have tried recently. Such a beautiful color and the fruit definition and acidity blew me away.
