A lovely rosé of Pinot Noir with a delightful strawberry, watermelon and subtle wet stone character that's fresh and balanced

Nice Rose by Banshee. These guys have been killing it recently. Somewhat pale in color, almost orangish. Creamy mouthfeel with some bright fruit. Honeysuckle and orange peel. I like this wine

Bought on a whim because I liked the look of the tasting room. A pleasant Rosé of Pinot. I would like to be floating in a swimming pool right now. Tart watermelon.

A very young 2015 that is tart and green. Hints of unripe watermelon and white grapefruit. Faint white roses start to bloom as this wine warms. Showing hope, but needs a few months.

2015 vintage, and it shows. Beautiful copper color, but it just about ends there. Viscosity and palate show virtually no RS. Very faint nose, can't pick up much of any fruit. Little salted watermelon as it warms, but over all extremely green and young on the palate. Tastes a bit more like the buds than the fruit. Have to sit on this one for a while.

Not the best one out there by a long chalk. Faint nose of berries and a palate that is very simple, and thin. Watery almost. Far too much $$ for what it is.
