Lovely colour and aromas. Ripe red berry and smoked earth. This a beauty for the price — 2 months ago

Acidity for days with a tart backbone. For the sour cherry and cranberry lover. Not really my bag. — a year ago

Lots of minerality here. Some stone fruit and citrus, little on the berry notes. Dry and zesty. Decent enough for an everyday afternoon Rosé but lacks any noteworthy character. — 2 years ago

Wow, if you’re a fan of Semillon or Chenin Blanc, this is your jam. Oily, stony, minerally, tons of lemon and wet firewood going on. Drinks medium bodied and richly textured but it’s only 12%. And it’s pee yellow in the glass. I dig this. — a year ago

Fine example of a Left Bank red under 25 bucks with dry, soft, lean dark fruit (cassis) and firm tannin, but a little one note-y for me. — 2 years ago
