Ratings & Reviews

Wine Enthusiast:
"This wine is all fruit, with bright red-berry and red-currant flavors. It is crisp while also warm and juicily fresh. Drink the wine now. Suitable for vegans." - Roger Voss (8/1/2021)

Wine Spectator:
"Vivid melon, tangerine and white raspberry notes are livened up with citrus acidity in this crisp rosé, with elements of wet stone, spice and anise folding together on the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. 2,310 cases imported." - BS (Oct 2021)
