One of the best roses I've ever had. Sam is truly an amazing winemaker. On the nose, herbal/savory notes, yet also has a cream cheese cake frosting note as well. In the mouth, bracing acidity, incredible minerality and the faintest hint of fruit. Long finish. Just a beautiful wine on its own, and perfect for food as well.

I'm fairly certain this is the best American rose' I've ever had. Love the freshness contrasted with oily texture.

First rosé I've had this Spring (crazy, I know) and this Nebbiolo blend is a perfect welcome to the season. Pretty aromatics and a body not too light.

Took 30 minutes to open up this time. Dry, herbal and balanced. Perhaps not quite as persistent as the last bottle I tried.

An amazing Rose’! Full bodied, with lots of bold flavor. Dried raspberries, fennel, ripe strawberries- this rose has complexity and heft. What a treat.

Orange color. Peach & honeysuckle nose. Intense peach, blood orange with wildflower honey finish. Decent acidity.

Succulent and savory herbal notes! Zesty tangerine on the palate with verbena and tarragon on the nose.
