Introduced to this on our last trip to Fredericksburg. My fav from this winery — 6 years ago
Some Texas pink for Mother's Day! Decent juicy fruity rose from the Texas high plains made from Cinsault (since it is grown in Texas they for some reason decided to rid the name of its 'L' to make it less French, lol). None the less, refreshing with ample acidity - honeydew, watermelon, raspberry creme, Meyer lemon - oily texture, dry finish. — 7 years ago

Allocation on this wine is rather low. Poured a little more pale straw colored than some other years of this wine. Nose is herbal, peach, lemon. Entry is Meyer Lemon, peach and honeysuckle. A little more rounded than I thought it would be with a little bit more tame acidity in the front. Goes a little more herbal on the finish. Lemon tart and more acidic on the finish. Great balance. These Kuhlman Roussannes have shown age-worthiness with the 2012 still going strong. — 6 years ago
I really want to like this wine. I will say that this has definitely changed, but I'm not so sure that the overall score changes much for me (last note was 8.9 for different reasons). This is not a zin that is true to form. I get tart fruit here, and plum. I don't think either of those characteristics belongs in a zin. I am happy with the weight, structure, and finish of this wine. It is a well made wine which is made by a winemaker that is to be respected. But the wine just doesn't do it. More reminiscent of zinfandel via the nose, which is a little bit brambly in characteristic, some flowers, some black and purple fruits. But the entry is sharp, tart, plum, some raisin, fig, earthy middle, acidic finish which has a mild tannin. Definitely wouldn't kick it out of the bed for eating crackers, but I would have guessed that this was a mixed grapes wine that was headed downhill maybe a touch. — 7 years ago
If you haven’t tried Texas wine but do have very high standards, you must check out Kuhlman Cellars! Award winning Roussane is bright, crisp, with lingering smoothness that will delight your palette. The best combination of French and California right here, but from TX!! — 5 years ago
@Delectable Wine this is the estate grown Kuhlmanation Rosé... it was not in the database.
This is an incredibly balanced wine. The nose on this wine is strawberries and peach. The entry is more of a nectarine than peach. Very thick and viscous. The middle is where more of an herbal characteristic shows and a hint of watermelon. Pineapple and kiwi shows up at the finish. Intriguing bottle of wine. Most complex bottle of Rosé I've ever had. 9.4 and not ashamed to give that rating. Kudos Kuhlman! — 6 years ago
At the price, this is probably one of the best QPR buys in SB. Pours a light straw into the glass. Nose of lemon and peach. The entry of this wine is mostly lemon rind, and some pineapple. Finishes with a hint of limestone on the palate, strong lemon notes, some tart, makes your mouth pucker. Good grip to this wine. Will be a great summer drinker, if I can make any of my remaining bottles last that long. Sadly, none of them will make it I'm almost certain. — 7 years ago
