Unbelievable rosé from New York State! Exploding with strawberry and raspberries on the nose and the palate is like taking a bite of a red delicious apple. Blown away this came out of NY. — 11 years ago

Probably the best value I have found in a long time. Excellent crisp acidity with kisses of green apple and pear. Extremely well rounded and refreshing. And for the price of $14 it's been hard to find something that beats it. — 10 years ago

8.5

Very fruit forward for a Bordeaux. On the nose a lot of ripe red fruit. On the palate some spice but mainly fruit and lack of earth with that I look for in a Bordeaux especially an '09. Not bad just unexpected. — 11 years ago
