January 22, 2010 - Bright light red to peach hue. Nose of yeast and strawberries. Some blackberry on the palate crisp, but not overly acidic. Short finish
August 26, 2009 - Same notes as before, the only difference was tasted more rasperberry on palate this time.
August 7, 2009 - Strawberry nose and palate, not much else...cleaning out the cellar of some old bottles, probably waited too long.
March 21, 2009 - Past its prime
February 19, 2009 - Light brick red in the glass, transparent. Nose is of halls cough drops, herbs, and strawberries. On the palate, seems to be on the later stages of life. Fruit is almost gone. What is left is some light structure. Based on the other reviews, it's not clear if my bottle was just not handled well or is just too old to be truly enjoyable.
August 23, 2008 - This was a stunning dry rose from my perspective. The nose was a diverse array of fruit: tropical, strawberry, cherry, watermelon, and even some darker berries came out with some aeration. The finish was incredibly long and enjoyable. Even the mouth feel was spot-on with some light tannins to lend a little structure to the wine. I'm not a big rose drinker, but this one blew me away on every level.
August 6, 2008 - raspberries and cranberries dominate this dry rose, backed with a perfect amount of acid to pair well with an oriental chicken salad, very refreshing
July 11, 2008 - Very dry with plenty of interesting fruit to intrigue the palate. Strawberries, rasberries and cranberries. The finish is tart and long lasting. A terrific summer wine.
June 10, 2008 - Nose of a bland Thanksgiving: cranberry sauce and salty turkey stuffing somewhere further away, along with typical rosé strawberry, with a sparkling water texture on the tongue attack. A decent soldier: versatile with food; dry; worst flaw is a tiny bit of heat and nail polish, but not a whole lot going on here. Jane liked it.
