Strawberry, game, grapefruit, earth, sour cabbage, and a little raspberry on the nose. Citrus, tart berry, earth, bitter rind, and a little cranberry on the palate. Refreshing and light. Short-ish finish. Very good with food. This says Thanksgiving to me...

Popped and poured tonight. Nose of Oregon pinot-funk, wild raspberry, and some kind of melon. The complexity surprised the hell out of me, not expecting this in a rose. There's lip smacking acidity across the palate, more of that wild berry and distinctly pinot funk going on, and a streak of minerality that came out of nowhere. I also got a cranberry/strawberry thing on the finish. For around $12, this rose delivers far above the price point. Would have broken the 90 point barrier with more defined acidity and liveliness.

Great nose, smells of fresh watermelon, grapefruit, roses, and sour patch kids. Really awesome nose, I dig it. Pretty easy on the palate, some gentle strawberry and watermelon, hints of citrus and raspberry. On its own it holds a nice finish. Great balanced acids, making the mouth water. This is beautiful wine. Fresh, fun, and has enough cool things going on that it's somewhat intellectual. Rad.

Pale pink. Pinot picked for rose. The nose showed a roasted pepper character making me think if this were a black glass tasting I would guess Gruner or Pinot Blanc based on the aromatics. Light bodied, this shows high acidity, subtle melon flavors and some stony minerality. Medium finish. Clean and refreshing. Nice stuff!
