lots of juicy candied fruit ~ a bit like unripe star fruit on the finish ~ weirdly enough when paired w Mediterranean lamb burgers the red onion brings out a minerality like quality and the contrast of all other flavors works well!

Uhhhh....astringent and I would say it was corked but it is a screw cap.

Strawberry, watermelon, lemon, medium+ bodied, nice acidity, and minerals. The Mourvedre gives it a little extra weight for a Rosè. Nice! If you see a vintage 2025, WE gave it a 91.
This wine is sourced from three vineyards, the majority of the fruit comes from historic Bridgehead Vineyard, where some of the Vines are over 130 in age!

Not your traditional rose. Strawberry on the nose and front of palate leading to apples. Some notes of minerality in it as well. Stands up as a good complement to Asian and Indian food.

Dry, and clean, but not enough fruit or character.

OK I’m revising my review of this one. At first I thought I got a whiff of cat urine. But in spite of that I kept drinking glass after glass. I actually really like it. It’s fruity with a hint of sweetness, but it’s not sweet. It’s smooth and it goes down easy. I’ll prob buy it again.
