Soft strawberry/candied cherry fruit w vanilla undertones. Opens up into tangerine peel and chalky bubble gum. Acidity is bright, fruit is ripe but dry and understated with a pithy, mineral quality on the finish. Roussanne an grenache blanc add a good deal of texture.

Nearing the end of rosé season, but glad I tried this one by @randallgrahm. Nice balance, easy to find, & good price!

I forgot how much I enjoy this wine. Beautiful color, barely blushing, barely ripe red fruit and a bit of wet hay on the nose. Fruit on the nose is confirmed on the palate which also has a wonderful acidity with some lovely mineral notes.

2012 central coast red from Santa Cruz, CA via NakedWines.com. Young but drinkable as long as focus is more on the food.

Beautiful salmon color, clear and pure. Fragrance is floral, stone fruit with a hint of pencil lead. Mouthfeel is a little oily, but pleasant. Flavors of apricot, gardenia, fresh greens/a touch of grass.

I love rose and this one's good, it's just a little more metallic and heavy than I want usually. There is better rose for less.
