Delicious. The purity and intensity of the fruit here, together with the acid balance, is what makes this special. Almost drinks like a light red.

Quenching little purchase from Garagiste that I had totally forgotten.

Fruit forward, fairly high RS. Lacks anticipated complexity that was described in this rose

Pink salmon color with strawberry earthy nose. Nice texture with hints of sweet fruits and medium finish. Not too old! Good from JL. 12ABV.

Even a year later, has a spring in its and some fruit notes (strawberry when a little warmed to room temperature). Has some herbal and savory flavors as well, maybe heightened by the aging.

Nice little rose Pinot noir. Medium+ acid, medium+ viscosity. Lots of fruit here too, great food wine and good value at $20.

Steely nose. The acid bite is a bit much for the subdued fruit. Austere
