April 29, 2011 - Bright fruit up front with a burst of acidity and off dry finish
March 31, 2011 - Nice quaffing rose. Easy to drink
April 7, 2010 - Bright fruit up front. Fresh. Good acid. Musky nose. Well off dry. Good thru mid-palate. Strawberry on long finish
September 16, 2009 - This exceeded my expectations with tons of fresh fruit. It was vibrant and ripe. Evident grenache on the nose but the palate has been enhanced by the addition of cabernet and shiraz adding great texture, weight and midpalate complexity. Excellent acidity provided by the bit of dolcetto in the blend, energetic finish that is refreshing and deep. This is the perfect fusion of a Provencal nose and Australian body. Great QPR.
August 1, 2009 - Aromas of strawberry and watermelon Jolly Ranchers with a slight hint of a kerosene lamp. Upfront bright red fruit, nice acid on the mid-palette. Finishes with a great punch of spice. Great rosé!
July 28, 2009 - Excellent Rose, nice and dry with hints of strawberries. Nice level of tannins, this is what a Rose wine should be. Will buy again.
July 18, 2009 - love the minerals and the slightly musty nose. a great example of how dry a rose can be. seek this wine out.
June 28, 2009 - I enjoyed this more than some of the recent Provence roses that I had... A touch of sweetness, but good acidity for a light and refreshing package. Very good value for the price ($12).
June 18, 2009 - Spectacular Syrah Tasting at Dino's (Dino's - Washington, DC): first wine of the night. mostly grenache, but there's some syrah in here too. dark salmon color. on the nose, i got rose petals and strawberry pie. this is a pretty big rose, with some nice tannins. good acid, lots of strawberry and watermelon flavors backed up by black pepper. good way to start off.
June 14, 2009 - The Blind Drunks monthly tasting (Chateau Lay): Notes of berries, spice and maybe soem petrol. Bright fruit and acidity on the palate, with nice depth and balance for a rosé.
