Popped and poured. The 2015 LVdA pours a deep violet color and is now throwing a significant amount of fine sediment. On the nose, blue and black fruits, black pepper, deli case, black olives, lavender and stone-like minerals. On the palate, the notes from the nose are confirmed and accompanied by some chocolate too. Medium tannin and medium (+) acid. On the pour, the body is a touch thin for my liking but it gains some weight with air. By hour two, it’s hitting its stride. The finish is long and delicious. This is in a good place right now and will likely do so at least through 2025. — 7 months ago

I love this one. Bright, vibrant strawberry and raspberry on the nose, as well as something that smells like sweet cream? Taste is not sweet at all... dry, perfectly balanced and crazy delicious. I love this rosé. — 5 months ago
Crisp & tasty Muscadet. Enjoyed with chicken & Greek salad; will aim to pair with seafood next time. — 8 months ago

Woah dude. Right in the pocket. Pepper n Spice n Menthol wrapped up in inky goodness. Resolved tannins provided a gentle structure. Incredible. — 17 days ago
