  August 10, 2010 - A left-over from last year. I feared that all the fruit had faded, but it was even better now than last year. With a massive acidic structure supporting the nice mature fruit. An exceptional rose, drinking perfect now.

  July 1, 2009 - Excellent rosé, supreme nose of redcurrants, flowers and minerals. Very good, highly quaffable. Good finish. The only minor problem is that the acid isn't as structured as I would've preferred.

  May 30, 2009 - nice bright pink color. Nose: strawberry, bit of floral and some yeast. Palate: tart(?cranberry), strawberry, watermelon, a bit sweet. Frizzante very obvious. good acidity. If one was thirsty on a hot afternoon and the wine was chilled it would be enjoyed, but otherwise uninspiring.

  Color is ruby red in the bottle, but gets significantly lighter in the glass. Nose is yeasty strawberry like a Strawberry Blond Ale. On the palate it's strawberry and watermelon with good acidity. The frizzante on this bottle, and others tasted, was so distracting making this a really good Bartles and James. After 15 minutes at room temp it falls apart, and bad. Bitterness sat in and only got worse as time went on. This wine was "good" for about 15-30 minutes, so drink quickly.

  May 20, 2009 - Color is ruby red in the bottle, but gets significantly lighter in the glass. Nose is yeasty strawberry. Almost like a wheat beer with a lemon. On the palate I got some peach, but mostly strawberry and watermelon. But very bitter like a watermelon jolly rancher. Too bitter, and only got worse as time went on. This wine was "good" for about 15-30 minutes, so drink quickly.
