Orange-pink color and has a delicate scent of flowers and red fruit. Soft, floral, low acid, minerals, and a nice finish. Love love love. Possibly my favorite rosé this year.

Red fruits, some tropical fruits, iron, very minerally, sage/vegetal notes. Very interesting rosé!

Lots of character for a rosé. Refreshing when cold, richer and more assertive as it warms up.

Seriously fantastic rose. Tangerine, watermelon, minerality.

Jul 18th, 2015This is the best rose I have had yet this year! I drank it after the Matthaiason rose; which isn't too shabby at all, and was still stunned by the Olga! Orange zest, and black pepper on the nose, and lots of tangerine and red bell pepper on the palate. The wine finishes with quenching tartness, and fruit that lingers for a long time... This is my summer jam.

Very tasty with flavors of red currant/strawberry and strong mineral notes.
