Slightly burnt orange/salmon color. Last bottle of this. Drank 2 glasses over an hour. Really pretty remarkable that this is decent at this point. Certainly nearing the end of its life, with the fruit taking a back seat to the mineral and earth notes, still gets the strawberry and and citrus though.

This bottle shows a some earth on the nose and is otherwise quite consistent, with strawberry and citrus notes on the nose and palate. Fabulous a these 94 degree days!

Salmon color. Nice citrus notes, strawberry, mineral and a little floral. The palate was tart and crisp with a nice finish. This was another big crowd pleaser that still has nice life based on this showing.

Bordeaux at the Edina CC (Edina Country Club): 5 Grape blend of predominantly grenache (65%) and syrah (25%). Light body, citrus notes and lighter red fruit, bits of spice. Very pleasant drinking. Lighter in style than the 2009, but maybe also showing a bit of age. 88pts.

Bordeaux Event at Edina CC (Edina Country Club, MN): Nose: Strawberries and some mineral. Palate: Strawberries show in abundance with decent balance. A little higher acid levels would have improved this wine, but overall nice.

Very unique Rose. The Grenache was in full effect. Deep deep ruby red in color. Nose was sour cherry and some subtle red fruit and spice. The wine makes you pucker on occasion but has some very interesting spice notes as well. The good deep color and taste make this a good wine to pair with some medium fare. Only bottle, but we'll look for this again next summer.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this bottle. I was surprised by how tart and tangy this was. This is not the Rosé you will experience in a tasting room in California. Bitter cherry flavors on the palate. Interesting and looking forward to the next bottle to evaluate again.

Nice overall with cherry, watermelon and light spice. Short finish and refreshing.

Drank several glasses while golfing. Still surprisingly fresh. Nice minerality. Actually improved after a half hour. 87~88pts

Thai food on a NYC roofdeck - this drank beautifully. Tangy upfront with red fruit on the finish. Very clean and fresh. Awesome Rhone Rosé.
