Banshee
Mendocino County Rosé of Pinot Noir
2015 vintage. Has a slight yeast/funky/cheesy thing going on that doesn't do much for me. Otherwise...cranberry, tart cherry, pink flowers, lots of chalk. Even witnessing a little effervescence going on with the cork in the bottle, so maybe a little stay bacteria in action. Nothing overly offensive though...just think that this may be a tiny bit off.

Apr 21st, 2017Nice 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

Apr 27th, 2016Bought 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.

Apr 8th, 2016A 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.

Mar 12th, 20162015 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.
