Initial sweetness with some bitter acidity to balance on the finish… it’s a good Rosé. Lots of respect for Francis. And I love the name of this one.

Almost a light red color- full of red wine aromas--red plum, raspberry sherbet, rosewater, full palate with prominent cherry bubble gum notes. A little bit heavier than I'd prefer, more like a chilled red than a rose.

Terrible Rose'. Heavy and earthy and nothing that I'd want in a light summer wine

Big, fruity Rosé. So much fruit.... Red raspberries, strawberries, watermelon. This would be a great patio pounder.

Wouldn't buy it again. Left not much of an impression in either direction. Blah!

Whoa! No Bueno. It has quite a bite and the aftertaste is strong. The bottle is open though so I must drink it.

Deep bright red in color. Candied strawberries and cherries on the nose. Strawberries, cherries and hint of rhubarb on palate. This one is a crowd pleaser for sure.

Love the bottle, but the wine is not great. Wouldn’t buy this again.
