8.4

Textbook “grocery store” wine. Soft and approachable. Nose is strawberry jam. Palate is ripe red fruit. Well extracted without seeming “cooked” or sweet. Some vanilla on the back end. — 13 days ago

I mean, it’s rosé. Very pale pink color. Round, soft, melon notes with a touch of minerality. Nothing that really stands out. Pretty generic. — 7 months ago

It’s fine. Definitely good for summer. Light and refreshing with a touch of carbonation. I mostly get strawberry and a touch of bell pepper. Quite dry with decent high acid and minerality. 9.1% means you can have a few and not feel terrible, too. — 7 months ago

I was intrigued by this because I was looking for right bank Bordeaux, and because it was under $30 for a nearly 10-year old bottle. Considering the price it’s pretty good. Definitely starting to get some tertiary notes. Mushroom, leather, and forest floor. Fairly easy drinking with some black fruit and faint tannins. A good quality:value wine from Bordeaux. — 21 days ago

Too out of balance for me. It’s like drinking butterscotch candy in pineapple juice. It’s lacking nearly enough acidity to balance out the oak and tropical fruit. Maybe it’s better when it’s younger but I would think the oak would only be more pronounced. — 7 months ago

Very generic Italian red. Some strawberry and tobacco on the nose. Medium body. Dry finish with fine tannins. Perfectly fine for the price point. — 7 months ago

Pretty earthy. Tobacco, leather, mushrooms, graphite, bell pepper. Medium-full body with fine tannins. Long oaky finish. I would say this drinks above its price point. — 4 months ago

9.0

I think the excitement for this every year is a bit overblown but it’s tasty stuff. Melon, strawberries, peach, and grapefruit. Quite dry and high acid. Keeps you coming back for another sip. Better than the flagship rose. — 4 months ago
