Somewhat light-bodied but great flavor, with hints of vanilla after eating very garlicky foods. Also went well with a spicy/tangy chimichurri. — 10 years ago

I'm not even going to try to guess at all the bright, fruity notes that are in this ideal summer wine. I'm just going to say I love it, and have another glass. — 9 years ago

Love, love, love this big, bold red! Beautiful dark red color with a flavor of dried red fruits on a cedar deck on a warm summer day. Meaty but smooth and not too tannic, this was phenomenal with grilled lamb chops! — 10 years ago

Smooth and oaky with hints of vanilla, this medium-tannin red blend is fabulous with and without food. Enjoyed it before, with and after mushroom bisque and butternut squash ravioli :) — 10 years ago

Super crisp and refreshing summer wine. Tart peach with hint of lime/citrus that doesn't linger like a syrup on the palate. Light straw color with a pleasant bouquet. — 10 years ago

8.5

Enjoyed the 2013 Rosé with a braised pork dinner and it complemented the meal beautifully. A bit alcohol forward while super chilled, but as it warms it opens up to a bold fruit flavor with a slight effervescent mouthfeel. Very drinkable on its own, especially as temperatures warm up outside. — 10 years ago
