Great producer, great vintage, big hype from retailers. Until tonight, this wine failed every time to meet its potential, so on the last bottle from a case, I was prepared to pan it for the record. Oops. This last one one was a winner. How to account for bottle variation that gives you 11 poor to fair specimens, then one very good one? Must be agriculture -- it sure isn't manufacturing. But it's a cheap wine built for early drinking, so who really cares?

Drank this Rose as an aperitif with a salad with Nevenka and Herbert. Nice floral on the nose. Excellent choice. Lots of fruits in this wine. Refreshing. Will buy it again.

Nothing going on here -- lacks the typical fruit forwardness of the 2007 Rhones and lacks acidity and brightness. Weak effort.
