    April 11, 2021 - Very dry. Not a lot of body, but enjoyable for a warm afternoon. Peachy, more than rose, color. Good value white/rose.

    October 26, 2020 - Following my experience five months ago, I used this as a cooking wine (mussels) and for deglazing. Enjoyed it in both of those contexts. The 19s are probably out already, and I'll no doubt try one, or more, as I do each year. Drink now.

    July 25, 2020 - Unfortunately underwhelming, similar impressions to Tim H. Just did not add much to our meal, the citrus/red berry notes were nice enough, but not especially unique while sipping.

    May 11, 2020 - A bit too light of body, and character; have enjoyed several other vintages over the years. A blend of 38,5% Grenache, 30,5% Grenache Blanc, with the rest Picpoul, Cinsault, Carignane, Vermentino, and Mourvedre, this is light of body, light of any depth (even in the most conservative of rose molds). I really tried to find something to justify even its modest cost, and all I could think of was how I wished I was drinking a Triennes rose. This particular vintage/bottling gives, to me, a poor name for 'sustainable farming' in that there's very little to appreciate, i.e. just not enough fruit, character. 13,5% abv., screwcap. I'll try it again in 2019 vintage, and hope for more. NR

    April 11, 2020 - Very much in the French style, though with a rather surprising and lengthy list of component grape varietals in the mix. Although I failed to take extensive tasting notes when I had this, I distinctly recall enjoying it and certainly is worth a repeat, especially at a very tempting bargain price!
