Dianthus Paso Robles Mourvedre Blend Rosé 2021
@Tobin Spratte : Yes, I’ve done side by sides with the two rosés before and yours is more Provençal whereas the Dianthus is more Tavel-like.

Antithesis Chardonnay 2005
A tasting of six aged white Rhônes, including 20 and 35-year-old Hermitages vs Chapoutier Saint-Joseph Blancs from Les Granits and a 19-year-old Esprit from Tablas Creek, Beaucastel's sister winery in Paso Robles, as well as one of the first great Viogniers to come out of California, the 2009 Calera Mount Harlan. The Tablas Creek held up well against these heavyweights, coming in second place. — 4 months ago

Last of a 3-pack. Consumed one in ‘22, ‘23 and now ‘24. Holding up well.
42 Mourvèdre/40 Grenache/17 counoise/1 cinsault
I don’t drink much rosé, but when I do, I like the darker/bigger profile, and this achieves that at a really nice price. When compared to the first bottle two years ago, the change is minimal (if at all). This style allows for a bit of age to carry it easily. Deep red-pink in the glass. Aromatics of juicy watermelon and red-gummy fruit (raspberries) upfront as well as some red floral notes. On the palate, it has spiced strawberries, black cherries, and a little blood orange citrus at the finish. If I had more, I’d enjoy over the next year or two. — 7 days ago
