Beach week staycation begins. True Believer has been by my side the last few years. A little spritzy on pop. My preference is to have this cold—50 degrees or cooler to smooth it out.

Had the the 15 a few months ago...17 is hands down better IMO. Nose of Diesel and potpourri. Mouthful of wild strawberries, tropical fruit and lush melon. Dominated by Grenache, this Rose has a spiced creamy finish.

Rose is probably my least favorite of wine type. But this is exceptional. Raspberry, pomelo, herbs, and oyster shell on the nose. Elegant medium to full body. Beautiful acidity.
Predominantly Grenache with Syrah and dashes of Mourvèdre and Viognier.

Possibly the best rose I’ve tasted - not that I drink rose often.
Perfumed nose of fresh raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, subtle fresh herbs, lavender, hint of steeped red tea and seashell. Medium to full body. Great texture yet stays lively on the palate. Then there is that long candied juicy finish.
This is so delightful yet so serious.
Every bottle I have tasted so far from the winery is not just good, but great!
