Vin Gris. Outstanding with mild earthy tartness. Delicious.

Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, lime zest and slate. Great acidity and balance.

This is impressive. One of the best from CA overall, especially at the price point. Snappy, dry; sweet strawberries and roses. Quite complex.

Eight grapes, Grenache at 35%. This wine is a very pale pink, like the inside of a sea shell. There is a fair amount of salinity to go along with that shoreline appearance, too. A nose of strawberries and cherries has just a slight green quality to it, while the acidity-fresh palate shows red fruit in a salty, earthy setting. A perfect match for anything from the sea - it's elegant, it's complex and I'm doon with it.

Rich and creamy in the mid-palate from the lees stiring. Nice little domestic rose, with good acidity and bright fruit.

Very pale salmon color with melon, peach, subtle strawberry and tea leaf aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, and fresh with a wonderful mouth-feel and peach, melon, strawberry, and spiced citrus flavors with a lingering saline finish. Blend of 35% grenache, 18% mourvèdre, 16% grenache blanc, 12.5% roussanne, 8% carignane, 8% cinsaut, 1.5% marsanne, 1% counoise. 13% alcohol

Always happy to see this one on shelves. Almost a better indicator of spring than the groundhog himself...

Consistently delicious. Herbal, hay-like, like lemon peel and dried strawberries with fabulous acidity. Love it.
