Light, refreshing. Perfect red for summer (if you prefer reds, but feel most of them are too heavy for warm summer temps!). Gorgeous color! — 11 days ago
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should go and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Week, months, years will pass. But I will miss you every single day 💙 — 15 days ago
Small local producer. Rosé wines from Merlot aren’t typical here in the PNW. Dusky orange, excellent clarity. Label notes it was aged on lees, with aromas of “strawberries, peaches and melons” with “flavors of cherries, raspberries, strawberries and black pepper” For me, strawberry seed and melon aromas with flavors of cola and black pepper, surprise. Almost dry, rounded mouthfeel, defined skin astringency on finish, not excessive but present alongside some mineral and leesy character. Worth seeking out — 18 days ago

Olsen Ranch Vineyard, 175 cases made. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Struggling with the aromas right now (overchilled) Lots of body, guava, lemon and apple flavors. Lees character on finish. — 12 days ago
