Further proof that the 2016 Rose season is going to be flooded with poor examples of rushed to market money grab Rose. Not that this is horrible, but my bottle showed tons of sulfur with rotten peach tones. Long rough sour finish like drinking OJ after brushing your teeth. Not what I would expect from a Costco import, but again like I said EVERYONE is on the Rose gravy train now much like what happened with Pinot Noir after Sideways came out. My suggestion would be to stuck with reliable importers, vineyards etc that have the reputation for producing quality Rose year after year.

Pale Rose color. Typical Provence profile, muted. Herbs of Provence and citrus. Almost watered down. Eh.
