Solid and nice as always. Lovely light salmon color. Strawberries dominate. Refreshing!

Jul 4th, 2025Possibly the last bottle of Rose this year. Lovely dark salmon color. Consistent wine throughout, see previous notes of other vintages. Probably a little past prime.

Really zippy. Also complex, has fruit, minerality, and a vegetal earthiness.

I seriously love this wine. Easy to drink, even compared to other rosé. Peach, stone fruits, honey, and a nice minerality. Not overly acidic where it feels syrupy. Has a great structure to standup to food.
