November 23, 2023 - Dark red for a rosé, with extracted flavor halfway between a Provence rosé and a Cote du Rhône. Nice but simple, not really my favorite style. Would not buy again. I’ve had much better rosés for $4 in Rhône grocery stores.

July 23, 2022 - The first whiff is mineral followed by intense aromas of warm cantaloupe, orange peel, and strawberry with a floral undercurrent; the same on the palate, but the fruit takes on a dried character, the finish is long, peppery and savory. There is ample acidity and the tannins do have a slight grip, I love the creamy texture of this wine. I think this could go for a few more years, yet.
My previous notes from two years ago are similar, but the melon was more watermelon and I made no mention of dried fruits. This was my last bottle.1 person found this helpful Comment
