  May 29, 2009 - Dark pink in colour, this Cabernet Franc rosé shows floral characters and a hint of spice on the nose. The palate is medium bodied. It shows summer fruits and good acidity.

  October 2, 2008 - Loire Trip (with stops in Beaujolais and the Cote Chalonnaise); 10/2/2008-10/5/2008: Pure strawberry candy on the nose. Nicely dry and showing a slight herbaceousness. Feels fuller than 12.5%, though it's by no means warm. Good finish, although the package here is no greater than the sum of its parts.

  September 14, 2008 - Med pink. Nose of sweet jalapenos, like in a sweet cornbread. Hints of cotton candy. Palate: med+ body, seems a bit hot. Light raspberries and jalapenos on the midpalate. Lovely flavors, dry. Short finish but great acidity. I was pretty impressed after the first two wines, but the flavors just weren't that intense, delicious, or complex. It also did seem a bit hot, despite the bottle reading 12.5% alcohol. However it's a good, pleasant rose, that is well-balanced and has some charm. For $20, though... not the best QPR in the world.
