Evolved fruit, fresh acidic structure — a year ago
Dusty patina (like walking through a Japanese temple) pomegranate and cranberry. Mixed white and black peppercorns. Uplifting acid (in a good way) that super complements food. TBL — 4 years ago
Tiny hint of reduction but beyond that it is super floral and with loads of cherry fruit. Iron, very mineral. Elemental stuff. Dusty and very very refined. Hit of licorice. Really alluring nose. Just stunning. These wines give nothing in their youth and then the blossom. Stunningly fresh and vibrant with still some tannic grip but wonderful balance and depth. Saps your palate and tales of over. This is truly on its way to being great. It’s long and saline and has floral echoes on the finish. Profound. But with age, 3-6 more years, this will be lights out. — 7 years ago
Delicious strawberry and peach notes, and the nose, crisp light, pale pink color. 12.5% ABV, which is great for a summer drinker . — a month ago
Salmon in color.
Fresh nose with red berries, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red fruits, citrus, earth, spices, apples and minerals.
This Single Vineyard Rosé is elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting. Fruit forward with enough earth notes to compliment it.
Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 95% Mourvedre with 5% Clairette. Aged in concrete vats for 9 months.
14% alcohol by volume.

This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.
Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.

Hazelnuts, petrol, lemon zest, and a bit of chalk. Some salinity. Very much like a fino sherry. — 7 years ago
