Out of all the inexpensive loire roses this year, this pinot noir is probably my favorite. It offers all of that loire funkiness, minerallity and drive but backs it up with ample cherry fruit flavors. Don't think too hard about it... It goes down easy and will be gone before you know it.

May 15th, 2016Best non-southern French rose I've had. Very smooth. A little Pinot on end, but not too heavy. Great with food.
