Possibly the last bottle of Rose this year. Lovely dark salmon color. Consistent wine throughout, see previous notes of other vintages. Probably a little past prime.

Lovely Rose as always. Lighter in color and depth. See previous notes on older vintages.

Really zippy. Also complex, has fruit, minerality, and a vegetal earthiness.

I seriously love this wine. Easy to drink, even compared to other rosé. Peach, stone fruits, honey, and a nice minerality. Not overly acidic where it feels syrupy. Has a great structure to standup to food.
