This one ranks pretty high out of all the roses I have tasted. Really great nose. Floral, strawberry, and a good greenness

Wow. Like this! Baking rockfish with capers and lemon (in oil and butter ) because that’s who I am.

Vibrant, mineral-laced redcurrant and orange zest aromas are complicated by subtle floral and herbal nuances. Lithe and tightly focused, with bitter cherry and strawberry flavors putting on weight with air. The mineral element repeats on the spicy, focused, long finish. (JR)

#4 (#3 was Onward which is in my list) this is a cab franc -- wow -- thought I wouldn't like but might have been my favorite. Complex, interesting but smooth and easy.

It tastes like the flower arrangement that you drape over a casket at a wake.
