August 10, 2015 - This wine was still holding its own. Had nice tropical character and balanced fruit and aciddity. Some cherry notes still remain.
September 3, 2011 - Probably needs to be consumed, stating to go downhill. On the nose, strawberries, tart apple, and a floral note we can't quite pin down. On the palate we're getting strawberry again, a little cherry, an earthy mineral and some pink grapefruit near the finish. Nice long finish with pink grapefruit and a flash of cherry at the very end.
June 2, 2011 - I really enjoyed this Rose, one of the best I've ever had. As many of the other reviewers stated, strong scents and tatses of strawberry with a nice crisp finish. Great for the red wine drinker on a hot summer day!
August 19, 2010 - A nice strawberry with a sweet refreashing finish.
July 1, 2010 - So perfect for summer. Fruity and refreshing - best Sonoma rose out there
June 29, 2010 - A surprisingly deep red (quite deliciously like an Arsenal home jersey). A little inexpressive on the nose, but hints of strawberries, some cranberry, and a little earthiness show up. On the palate, typical strawberries, but with a nice cherry undertone; quite full-bodied and a little sweet (but a little too sweet for my taste). Very peppery on the mid-palate. In sum, basically like a lighter, sweeter regular Pinot. The finish is tart (again, just like a normal Pinot) and a little metallic. Not the greatest for my palate, but it's growing on me, and I can see how someone would prefer this style over a typical light rosé.
April 3, 2010 - Big strawberries. Short and crisp finish.
June 6, 2009 - Paired nicely with a Laotian squash curry. Nice grass and green pepper notes, even a little rosehip. Not what I was expecting, and not a home run, but a solid base hit.
May 13, 2009 - Don't usually drink roses, but found this wine to be average. No noticeable flaws, but nothing to rave about either. Refreshing for a summer night.
