Violet, mushroom, green olive, raspberry. Juicy on the palate. Red fruit and bright acidity with soft, smooth tannins. Lingering olive and raspberry. Lovely, drinkable stuff. Almost like a love child of Syrah and Pinot Noir. — 4 days ago

Nose of currants with some slight graphite and bell pepper. Fairly lean and juicy on the palate with underripe red fruit. Good acidity, smooth tannins with a touch of bitterness. A little dissolved CO2 as well which strikes me as odd. Not too complex. Pretty decent. — 7 days ago

8.6

White flowers, peaches, a bit of strawberry. Palate is on the heavier, almost oily side. Med- acidity and some notable phenolic bitterness and touch of minerality.

Not as good as their GSM rosé IMO. I prefer a bit more acidity and less weight.
