Lots of strawberry, raspberry and some peach. Even a touch of sour candy. A bit too syrupy on the finish. — 6 years ago

Strawberry, river water, some sulfur on the nose. Taste of sweet berry candy, soft texture, somewhat mouth-coating but not too heavy. Full Pinot noir on the finish, a bit harsh. — 6 years ago

Smell of honey and some canned veg. More earthy taste than tropical fruit that I would have expected. Hot finish. Oddly spicy. Nice surprise. — 6 years ago

Meh. Pretty timid. Short finish. The other roses I’ve rated recently were better. Now I know why this was $7 off. — 6 years ago

8.9

On the nose, some warm cinnamon and cloves with cherry hiding behind it. Taste of tart cherry with a tiny poke of Swedish berry on the finish. Straightforward but good value for the money. — 6 years ago

8.7

Strawberry, peach and other stone fruit up front. A bit of a watered-down-berry flavour to it. Something a bit tart right at the end, almost grapefruity? Not bad but have had better rose. — 6 years ago

8.9

Flowery and sweet rose on the nose, flowing down the stream. Raspberry, some cassis, maybe a bit grassy? Not too complicated. Maybe a bit rough around the edges. But take a Tavel for what it’s worth. — 6 years ago

9.0

Springtime river rocks and a touch of citrus on the nose. Solid taste of pineapple. Some vanilla. A bit oily on the mouthfeel. A nice change from big Cali chardonnays. — 6 years ago
