The wine looks pink colored. It tastes like raspberry and strawberry. The body is light. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Clear, pale to medium pink in the glass. This wine displays aromas of dark cherries, bramble fruit and hints of rhubarb. It includes a mild flavour lightly burnt wood/cedar (like a very light gamay noir)

Really nice elegant slightly sweet red berry nose. Dry spicy red fruit flavours and a dry red fruit finish. Elegant and balanced.

De la matière, petit fruit (groseille) et végétal (fines herbes). Superbe équilibre, finesse.

Poured at a BC vs France fundraiser. In a blind comparison, this wine lost to the 2017 Miraval by a score of 12-0. Not that it was bad -- I certainly liked it at the winery -- but it failed to capture the imagination...

Agree with Killer Jones note about this wine. This is a dry, light Pinot Noir Rose. This wine is a clear violet/pink in the glass, dark red fruit flavour (predominantly cherry) with a light and perfect note of dryness and toasted oak. It is excellent now but and can still be enjoyed for another year or two. (if you can wait...it’s so tasty, I’m not sure if I can 😋)

Nice rich aromas of fresh citrus and light cherry. Easy to drink and full flavoured, with a dry framework and an elegant and fruity profile. Very nice!

This is a wonderful, bone dry, purpose grown & pressed pinot noir rosé. It mimics the generous crunchy red fruit of the Okanagan Valley and its signature ripeness and richness - more southern Rhone than Provence in weight. Lots of pleasure here, folks. No rush here...this one will cellar two years easy.

Bottle # 0025 This wine smells very concentrated with an underlying minerality. The palate is dry but with alot of residual sugars that give a dose of sweetness to this wine. Ripe cherry, raspberry, strawberry notes are impossible to ignore while a light minerality lingers in the background with a subtle rose water nuance. Very full bodied for a rose. moderate acid. Average quality. If you are a fan of over the top fruit forward wines this is for you. …

Copper/Orange. Strawberries and caramel. Sweet flavours. Lacks that nice hit of acid in the finish.
