4/26 Rose’ tasting and this was my co-favorite, contributed by @Mike R it was plump and substantial and almost elegant. The merlot set it apart a bit and definitely brought something different to the table. Noticeable oak treatment but it works here and gives it a more traditional red wine feel.

Just loved this Rose. Made from Merlot. Sweet cherry candy in the nose, beautiful texture, just delicious.

Wow. You know 2013 was a great vintage when every winery broke out a rose' before the tour began. Blankiet by far topped them for us. This is even better when drinking closer to red wine temp.

Viscous and round, with a very delicate expression of acidity and minerality. Barely any fruit comes through, but in a really nice way. It was served at cellar temp and I appreciated this stylistically.

Hands down, the best rose I’ve ever had! So complex with notes of strawberries, mulberry, citrus and even caramel! Lingers in the mouth for a minute after each sip and seems to hit every corner of your mouth! Damn good!
