Beautiful grassy nose, with hints of pineapple, lemon pledge, and crushed limestone. Beautiful hay color, slightly oily, mouth coating texture on a medium body. Palate is silky, with notes of lemon, bright pineapple, and creamy citrus, with notes of vanilla and slight fresh cut hay on the finish. — a month ago
Bought at the winery in 2021 just as things started to lift for COVID, and we brought our dog Murph along. This has sat for a bit, with three sediment coating the inside of the bottle, and is starting to show some age, with a pale red, somewhat fig color, with amber notes and bricking to the edges. The nose is tart, with more hints of fig, iron/blood, and a little iodine, with some softer fig newton and dark plum notes to finish. The palate is still acidic, with a little smoke or charcoal, super ripe strawberries, star anise, grapefruit, butterscotch, some iodine or apple cider vinegar, grandma’s fruit chew gummies, some iron and age elements of amber and velvet present at the finish.

Nose explodes out of the glass with notes of bubble gum and artificial watermelon, with a little strawberry favor with hints of mineral and a vibrant pink color. Very fruit forward, fruit punchy and almost tastes sweet, but I don’t know that it is. It’s good, but not what I look for in a rose. — a day ago
Medium bodied but surprisingly complex and acid driven. Nose that’s a combo of minerality and acidity, with hints of jasmine, peach, some lychee and some vegetal hints, the color is a blend of pale green and pale yellow, light colored though. The palate is deep, long and lingering, with a complex acidic blend of florals and dry white fruits, with hints of loquat, lychee, white peach, wet limestone, grassy notes, green mango and a hint of nectarine, with a zippy little effervescence at the finish. Double Diamond is still a great value. — a month ago
Always so good! Pale peach/orange color in the glass, light bodied, with an acidity that jumps out of the glass with notes of white peach and citrus, with strong mineral and floral hints to the edges. Maybe even a bit of fresh cut cucumber. The palate is fresh and freshly acidic, with juicy grapefruit, some blood orange, a slight mushroom like funkiness to the mid palate, and a long zesty acidic finish, which lingers with again, more fresh cut cucumber, maybe even a little bubblegum or air-head gummies when mixed with air at the finish. Man, it just keeps going! — 2 months ago
Tasted at Justine’s after watching ‘Carmen’ at the opera. Absolutely delicious and the perfect pairing for the cod! — 14 days ago
Beautiful way to start our celebration for Tiva’s birthday! — a month ago
Slight strawberry and white peach on the nose, with a stony freshness towards the end, with hints of rhubarb or something deeper, along with the consistent stony minerality. The color is a beautiful pale peach/pink, with a beautiful palate of underripe strawberries, white peach, a beautiful bead of acidity, a slight orange citrus hint, and a great dry finish. A crazy value, and solid pairing for paella! — a month ago
Really only comes alive with fatty foods or cheeses. Drank at a Lioco tasting at a friend’s place and we agreed that, on its own it’s too closed up and austere, but blossoms with food! — 2 months ago

Pale yellow with flecks of green in the depths, light bodied, with a dry and mineral tinted nose, with hints of yellow apple, white florals, fresh cantaloupe and (according to Tiva) cardamom. Palate is light medium, dry, with apple, white stone fruit, straw, with a long mineral driven finish. — 41 minutes ago
