This is the perfect spring and early summer wine! Even better when enjoyed on a sunner day picnic with loved ones! It's light and sweet but not overly so. It's a very easy drinking wine and feels rather refreshing after a long winter of heavy reds and even heavier winter beers. Rivals the grapefruit rosé that I love found in my ratings. — 7 years ago

A very tangy wine that is really only good when served cold and on the first night. Beyond that it takes on a more full-bodied (and not in the good way) taste. Decent enough for the price, but much better wines can be found from Château Ste Michelle and other such varietals. — 7 years ago

I feel like I am a bit biased towards this wine because I love reislings and I have yet to find one I didn't love; this one is no exception. This very enjoyable wine is crisp, refreshing, and enjoyable. The worst part about it is it's unavailability where I live in CT! Quite possibly my favorite wine from the portfolio, I found it enjoyable at the highest of levels. It is a wine that any wine drinker should pick up and taste at least once..or twice..or like 5 times! Also their vineyard is amazing. — 8 years ago

This wine is very complex and it gets better with each subsequent glass. It is a little much to handle at first and really only pairs well with a thin pasta sauce for dinner. — 7 years ago

A very good red wine. As stated elsewhere, a decent dinner wine that will go with most fall and winter dishes. Hits a bit hard off the bat, but opens up well with lots of flavor on the finish — 7 years ago

It is unfortunate that this wine, while more expensive, is only just as enjoyable as it's much cheaper counterpart (being the regular borsao garnacha). It is absolutely delicious, but I fear that this version will simply slip by the wayside due to it being so much more expensive than the cheaper version by the same company. I loved it, but won't again spend 7$ more to purchase it unless I am unable to find the regular borsao — 8 years ago

9.0

Has a very nice flavor. Easy drinking and fruity. Clean and light. Should be drank in on sitting, doesn't need extra breathing and gets detrimentally worse as time goes by. — 7 years ago

A very tangy rosé. It is great for one glass, but then gets to be too much. Each consecutive glass (or half glass) becomes less and less enjoyable — 8 years ago

I am a fan of granacha (my favorite wine being borsao). It's a very good garnacha. It's great in the late winter and early spring when it's still too cold for a fruity or cooling wine, but the season for big cabs and other full wines is thankfully behind you! Slightly fruity, deep, and warming (as a type in June from the northeast where it is rainy and about 50°) — 8 years ago
