Our fair and humble state just received our meager allocation of this elusive wine just before the holidays and I swooped up a couple bottles for myself with plans to drink one early and cellar the other. This bottle was a not part of those plans. No, this bottle was generously offered by the Somm at V. Mertz for just a fraction over retail which was fantastic because now I could try the wine and not feel obligated to dip into my own bottles! In the words of Charlie Sheen, “Winning!” The color of copper River salmon at the core and an almost orange color at the rim. The nose was predominately blood orange and grapefruit with some red cherries for good measure. On the palate, cherries, citrus, and fruit pound cake, no cap. Incredible texture with the sensation almost that of a weighted blanket of flavor for the tongue which, is somewhat of a mind trick since you expect something much lighter due to the color. The finish is oh so long and oh so lovely. A lovely, if not singular Rosé that happened to be a perfect pairing with lunch.

Red and yellow flowers, strawberry cream, touch of hazelnut and marshmallow... slightly oxidized character...interested to see if this develops further.

Pretty copper ruby color. Smells like old rioja! But clarified. Cherry taffy and pink and purple flowers on the nose. Also, minerals. Palate is packed with intense flavor. It is oxidized, bright, full bodied, fruity and metallic. Finish is a true progression, like a sherry. This is so delicious! Electric

Strawberry cream, brininess, slight oxidation, very long mid-palate, herbal, really a joy to drink. Prefer the blanco which is more accessible and ageworthy, but it would be fun to see this with some more bottle age. Delicious & serious.

Such a unique wine that screams for food. Tastes more like a red than a rosé.
