A gorgeous take on Mourvedre (make that Monastrell). Warmer in its fruit but I'd put it up against many a Bandol ...

Jul 26th, 2015100% Monastrell. Lots of "green" on the nose--herb & green veggies, but not quite full on green pepper. First sniff made me think it was corked, but that went away. Hint oxidation, sharp cherry, blood orange. A little funky. Free run juice, native yeast.

Deep rosy-peach color, ripe strawberry nose. Refreshing, with a light, almost briny hit. Very drinkable.

Beautiful light ruby in color. Aromas of crushed oyster shells sprinkled with stawberry and raspberry, and a dash of white pepper. More of the same on the palate. Dry and earthy, then crisp and refreshing. Such a pleasing wine at such a value (around $12).

Brett-y at first, (thought it was corked) but had a bright cherry note that transcended the musk, (with some time). #roséeveryday

One of the very dark colored rose- fruit forward, less mineral and taste develops after opening for 20mins. Refreshing as always in rose, great value for crowd pleasing.
