PnP. Very nice pale salmon color. No detailed notes since I brought this to a restaurant and enjoyed it out on the patio. Certainly lived up to the expectations set by CRISTIAN_M. This wine didn't have that certain stemminess found in many other roses. The acid level is completely in balance and there's a certain viscosity to it that gives it a nice mouthfeel...almost as if a small percentage underwent ML. A little too easy to drink...
Enjoyed in a Riesling Vinum Burgundy glass at about 50F.

I'd like to go on record saying that I generally dislike rose'. I don't know that I have ever willfully ordered or purchased a rose' in my life until now. This wine has totally turned me upside down on that though. This rose' is really really good. Fresh, young, deep, pleasing with an acidic zing. Its a fabulous summer time sipper. For a rose' its very complex and lacks that burning aftertaste that I so often get from other rose's. I've never had one made from carignan, but whatever the dudes at Porter Creek are doing with this one. I like it! At only 60 cases production though (according to Jonathan at the tasting room), its hard to stock up on this stuff. Doubt it will age past a few months, so I'm busy sharing with family and friends.
