Quite a fruit filled nose. Candied watermelon, strawberry, and cherry on the palate, but brings a nice amount of acid to offset. Dry and keeps you coming back for another glass. Tasting fresh for being “old news 19s.”

Very sweet candied nose. Clean, almost drying finish that leads to mouth watering acidity. Gonna be a banger if a summer wine!

Not a fair tasting-this bottle was on its 3rd day but impressed that it still held up.

This is the Sauv Blanc, not Rosè of Grenache. A very well crafted wine. Nothing that blew my mind but spot on flavors.

Tastes of strawberry. Smells light and sweet. Tastes light - light salmon in color. Sweet but slightly dry.
