88/12 blend of Barbera and Zinfandel. 151 cases made. Purple red, very good clarity, high pigment extraction. Cherry berry aromas. Cherry and tutti frutti flavors on initial pour, tight acidity, not quite puckery, slightly milky finish. Needs time to open. Some mint emerges on the finish, and acidity softens. Still some tannin texture in the mouth. Not highly complex, but reflective both of variety and terroir. Winery website notes blackberry (Zin) and plum (Barbera) flavors. These flavors really emerge after two hours, alongside the cherry core. Fine grained skin astringency remains, but pleasantly so. Decant. — 4 years ago
Fruta bem doce, quase num estilo tutti frutti, mas não chega a ser enjoativo e é até gostoso dependendo da comida e de não passar de 2 taças — 6 years ago
So yummy - light skin contact makes it have an almost cider-like taste with a clean brightness to finish — 6 years ago
Lightly extracted ruby red in color, very good clarity. Briar, phenol and cherry fruit leather notes in nose. Tutti frutti and anise flavors, some seed and skin tannins in finish. Good acidity, tasty and complex from opening. Still benefits from decanting. Later, cherry and raspberry flavors emerge, white pepper flavor in finish. Astringency builds as well. — 7 years ago
Dark coral pink in color, excellent clarity. Tutti-frutti and strawberry notes in nose. Light cherry flavor (later, cranberry and strawberry flavors emerge), lemon finish with moderate fine-grained skin tannin astringency. Creamy lemon and mineral aftertaste. Refreshingly dry, as advertised. Not terribly complicated or complex but well-made. Not just for Double Bubble chewing gum fans — 8 years ago
Light pigment extraction, purple red. Sulfites on nose, tutti frutti, black currant and blackberry flavors with seed tannins on finish. Tart blueberry aftertaste. Very fresh or “new”, indeed, but fun. Pair with turkey, pie or s’mores (why not?), anything rustic or autumnal. — 3 years ago
Great wine, good scent, great taste. Ruby fruity taste, acidic, walnut, effervescence. Tutti-frutti — 3 years ago
Insanely aromatic, thick nose of chamomile, lanolin and the color spectrum of peaches. On the palate tutti-frutti basket with everything from white cherry to oranges. Thank you to the somms that let me interlope on their blinding session today, and sneak a slurp of this magical stuff. — 6 years ago
Wholecluster makes the difference, so complex, not just tutti frutti but a serious wine, has fruits, berries , love it but too pricy. — 8 years ago
Screw top. Tasted double-blind. Presented very transparent in the glass. Nose was bursting with character! Displaying citrus, underripe mango, kiwi fruit, white flowers, meringue, white pepper and benzine. On the palate it was a bit more simple with bubble gum (sort of a Tutti Frutti thing) but it’s wasn’t at all off putting. Really good acid. Nice and dry in the finish. I was sort of between two minds on this one and thought maybe Vouvray Sec from a good producer but I should she paid better attention to the benzine note that would have steered me towards my second choice with would have been Riesling. Lovely wine! — 6 years ago
Reddish pink with orangish tinge, excellent clarity. White pepper and floral notes in nose, later some tutti frutti emerges. Strawberry, citrus pith and white pepper flavors, dry, mineral with white pepper and cherry finish with length - tangy. Tutti frutti flavor emerges after 90 minutes. Dry, good acidity, fruity, some complexity, solid varietal expression. Boo yah! A superior summertime rosé. — 7 years ago
Willamette Valley AVA, 94/3/3 blend of Pinot noir, Gamay noir and Cabernet Franc. Note: No Vineyard designation in this one. Paired it with veggie lasagna and the Oscars. Moderate pigment, purple-red, very good clarity. Tutti frutti nose initially, earthy later. Cherry-berry flavors with some length, slightly alcoholic bitterness initially in finish. Moderate skin astringency with a tactile, slightly acidic spritz in finish; later, chewy tannins and a slate flavor emerge. Minty tart blueberry aftertaste. — 7 years ago

40/40/10/10 blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Burnt orange in color, tangerine and tutti-frutti flavors, bitter finish with plum, fig and cherry aftertaste. Needs an hour to open. A floral note emerges eventually alongside the tangerine. Next day the wine screams of cherry flavor and minerality with a peach aftertaste. Worth decanting this before chill and serve. A deceptively nice dry rosé. — a year ago
