May 7, 2021 - Delightful, brimming with light strawberry and cherry fruit with a bit of spritz. All tasters thought this was a Cali rose. Mighty impressive for Loire. Good acidity - went very well with ham!

P: Med body; Very RNDISH entr with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by a LOVELY acidity that keeps things in check into & through the LONG, BALANCED, TANGY/swt finish.

August 24, 2019 - Spicy, fresh, floral, white cherries and tangy strawberries. A bit light, but lots of fun.
