Salmon color - darker than most. Classic strawberry, plum and watermelon on the nose. Bright, crisp and tart on the palate; strawberry, watermelon and a bit of cherry. Sweet, dry finish. A bit oxidized - probably at the tail end.

The color is a more serious salmon, almost orange-brown tinge. The fresh and bright nose is really inviting and makes my mouth water with anticipation, as rasberries, strawberries, and a background minerality or slatiness is apparent. On the palate, the tartness of the wine is immediately apparent, followed by flavors of watermelon, peach, and passionfruit. The mouthwatering acidity continues that great puckering effect for 20 seconds, while the fruit is replaced by that minerality once again. Did I just lick …

Opened with dinner, consumed over 3~4 hours. Darker than most rose's we consume. Nose is light red berries, some pear and mineral aspects. Taste is a light red fruits with a bit of persimmon and toasted almond on the finish. Good balance though it feels "weighty" for a rose.

Strawberry and watermelon. Decent balance, alcohol hidden ok. Probably a little late on this but it was all right. Drank fine with food but not much acid.

This Rose is a fantastic summer drink. Fruity nose with a richly complex palate of berries. pear, apricot and a hint of cedar and cinnamon and a crisp, dry finish, this is strong enough to go with serious food, or just sip ion its own.

Really a lovely rose, with ripe fruit, especially strawberries. Nice balance, with some layers of flavor, and a medium, easy finish. Nicely done. A little more floral and tropical with a sweeter nose than the last Rose we had (from L'Aventure - also excellent, but a different style)

Got this bottle through the winery's wine club for $21.60 and drank with Ceasar salad and crab cakes. This is a rich, complex, sophisticated rose that should be drunk with serious food (46% Mourvedre, 39% Grenache, and 15% Counoise). The nose is very fruity that provides hints of what the wine will taste like. Up front, red fruit (raspberries and strawberries especially) jumps to the front of the palate. After a short while, the richer, more complex Paso terrior notes …

Even better with a bit of air (3 hours open in bottle) and a bit warmer temperatures (i'm guessing low 60's). Fresh strawberries and herbs. Nice and dry but very fresh, white zin fans look elsewhere. I love it.

Just Ok, I agree. They've made more enjoyable. Is it the mourvedre adding an austere quality?

Tablas Rose was a bit of a disappointment. I found the wine to be very tart, with a mild bitter aftertaste. Not one that I would try again with other wine makers available.

Delicious - a rose done right. Strawberry on the nose and palate but with nice crisp acidity to back it up. Would I pay $30 for it? Probably not.

One word - Strawberry. OK, two words - Watermelon (nose), Strawberry (palate). A few more words - nice, easy to drink, I wish it had a little more acidity and some non-fruit component. Good, regardless.

Nose of peach, cherry, pomegranate, watermelon, and mineral. Agree there is fairly high alcohol here, but I believe it holds it pretty well. Nice palate with medium finish. I like this much better than the 08.

Really nice, bright nose makes you ready for summer. Perfect with rare grilled ahi and farro and tomato salad. This is juicy and still fairly balanced. Even at the 'club' price it may be priced a bit too high and I'll wait for the SoFr offerings in the teens this summer. Alcohol content is a bit rich at 14.5%.

No notes taken -- it was okay, but something in the flavor profile seemed odd. Overpriced.
