This rosé always impresses me. Or at least makes me happy I took it home so take that as you will. 2017 is the right combo of rich berries of the red sort a bit of pepper and a swash YES SWASH (if that’s not a word don’t wanna know) of wet river stone. A friend who won’t leave you. They may not save you but they will be there to lean on.

Dry and understated. Light citrus on the nose. More lemon zest at the start that finishes long and tart.

Strawberry, lime, watermelon, floral hints. Refreshing with just the right amount of acidity.

This one was just fine! The nose was chevre cheese, cut strawberries, gooseberry, unripened peppercorn, gravel, saline. Additional swirling revealed apricot, floral Rose, Floral tea. The Taste was dried strawberry, salted red fruit medley, orange rind, cranberry juice, rain-runoff, lime juice. This was lively but level-headed, with heavy minerality in the back to balance the fruit and citrus and to keep you thirsty. Also, on the other end, it's vibrancy kept me energized rather than feeling like I was just licking a wet limestone. The Empty Glass smelled strongly of peppery creamy cheese.

Definitely my favorite rose. Fruity but not sweet. Drank out on the porch. Makes me want summer to not end.

Tasted blind: Chalk, underripe strawberry, farmers market flowers. Fresh, juicy, bright strawberry fruit. Persistent with acid driven finish.

Clean, steely nose with a hint of grapefruit and tangerine rind. Luscious and specifically acidic viscous on the palate, with a dry finish and flavor of cotton candy.
