  No notes in the last 2.5yrs so guess people are drinking this too early. I find it needs 3yrs in bottle to shine. Has now really come into its own and my favourite vintage of this wine to date. Raspberry and melon nose, with raspberry and sour peach taste, some waxiness and good acidity. The level of fruit has decreased but it's now much more refined and classy - not unlike a PYCM rose now. Drink to 2026 and serve with food. 91pts

  We kicked off the next Virtual Wine Tasting with a Rosè. As usual, we tasted it both chilled and at room temperature. The wine is a Grenache from Languedoc that is a clear, light orange/pink. On the nose, the room temperature version had group notes of pear, melon, apricot and strawberry. I noted that it was off-dry. On the palate we got strawberry, melon, green apple and my taste buds caught some papaya. A short finish was timed and it was a touch bitter. I did not care for it very much at this temperature but things got better once I tried the chilled stuff. It was peachier on the nose and had cotton candy, honeysuckle, strawberry, apricot and canned pineapple. The palate gave us apricot and orange pith (there was a bitterness we all got). I noted it as more dry when chilled. The finish was longer and this wine garnered 89 points from me. At $16, it is a 3 star effort that will serve you well in the hot summer months. Drink now.

  Super interesting pale color that previews a very light bodied, easy drinking rosè. Lots of fresh, fruity notes on the nose, mainly strawberry and stone fruits like peach. On the palate it is very light, with just the right amount of acidity. Not super complex but it’s tasty and that’s what I want from a rosè.

  Very nice peach notes, good body and no overly alcoholic notes.
  
  Would be interesting to compare again against Ott for final scoring but very high level of quality and pleasant frutiness
