Its reputation preceded it, and for good reason. First sip of the week, and I’m really impressed.
The nose is disarmingly muted, with notes of strawberries and a hint of lemongrass. But the palate is intense, immense and powerful. Lovely extended finish with vibrant acidity, and moderate sweetness, coupled with citrus fruits.

The deep salmon color was a hint that this is no wimpy rosé (coming from To Kalon this is not surprising). It's slightly off-dry with a heavy dose of raspberry and strawberry (it's not sweet, just full of fruit). If you only like bone dry minerally Provençal styled rosés, then this is probably not for you. Aromatic on the nose and slightly rich, I might have blind guessed this as a Viognier. Time in glass served this well so I'd follow the advice of my friend @David L and decant (seriously!) or hold this for a bit. Enjoying this last bit of summer by the pool with the dogs. Happy Labor Day!

Rosé coming from the only Pinot Noir planted in To Kalon. Delicious!

Super interesting old vine Pinot rose. This bottle is showing like Pinot light not like Rose'. Full bodied, depth, earth, a little spice rhubarb.
