Sunday, January 1, 2023 - I don’t understand the 83 ratings. This is a phenomenal Rose. It is fresh, a little floral, but not sweet. Off dry with perfect acidity and slight tannins gripping the sides of the tongue. I (we) get strawberries and apricots on the palate along with a little minerality. On the nose, I’d add some fresh green weeds. It’s a very nicely complex and incredibly drinkable wine.

I don't love buttery/oaky Chardonnays, but I absolutely don't let that bias my ratings. I can appreciate a good one even if it's not my cup of tea, so to speak :-).
