Further to my Note of March 17, 2020: This may be #12 from the case. We have thoroughly enjoyed this. Some fruit fade over the last year but still enjoyable, esp if consumed with a meal in one sitting. Solid notable+.

Bought a 12b case for 5/b from a local eclectic independent shop; this is #2. Pale pink; subdued but semi-complex red fruit nose, some tartness that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel. Worth savoring. Fades some over 24h, though still enjoyable. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

Excellent easy drinking rose. I'm not normally a rose fan but this semi dry blended with cab sauv and grenache is excellently done. Bright citrus notes with long finish, watermelon. Drinkable on its own or paired with light foods like a charceutire board or salad. Wish I had purchased more!

Fresh and lively still, still a good amount of fruit.

81% Cabernet Franc, 19% Grenache. Strawberry and tangerine. Crunchy style wit a dry finish. Less lush than their reds have been for me.
