Tasted like broncial mucus.

Corked. Didn't seem to have too much fruit underneath it, but a bit hard to tell.

Nice creamy strawberry, but harsh alcohol.

Delicious, but not as nervy as the 2010 (but unfair to compare since it is a year older and not tasted until this year)

My last '09 Lulu; pulled from the fridge to sip while outside working on some wood-fired pizza on a hot day. Nice watermelon/strawberry profile, crisp, mineral finish, refreshing, maybe showing a touch of stemminess at the end. Got some good comments from guests who a year ago refused to drink pink wine.

Probably at or near its peak. The strawberry/watermelon flavors are really nice. Excellent rose. Bravo Morgan. I enjoyed this vintage. Last bottle.

Watermelon, strawberry, spice. A little different style than the 2010. Down to my final couple bottles, bummer.

This has added a bit of complexity over the last year, and is just lovely, fresh, dry and interesting. Glad I held a couple bottles over the winter.

Excellent domestic rose. Not as good as the 2010, but very enjoyable.

Seems to have gained depth and complexity over the past few months. Very nice.

Great with plank salmon. Subtle strawberry and watermelon flavors.

Strawberry blonde color, strawberry nose, watermelon and strawberry fruit tones, delicious rose. Different from the '10, but excellent in its own way. Highly recommend.

Drank over two days. My second bottle of this and I still don't see the 90+ scores that this has been getting from CT'ers. Aromatics are all but absent. Good on the palate, but seemed a bit restrained at this time. Seems a bit too "round" for me, lacking acidic lift. I've certainly had better Provencal Rosés at below $15. Good wine, but I"m not going to go out of my way to praise this a being a great Cali …

One of the finest California Roses I've ever tasted (second only to Tablas Creek). Beautifully balanced wine, with notes of strawberries and a touch of spice. This is what dry rose is all about. Hats off to Morgan for making another delicious wine!

Similiar notes to the previous bottle. My wife got to most of this and I was only left with a taste....well made with strawberry notes.

Dark salmon in color, with a very nice berry, framboise, and yeast scented nose. Beautifully balanced strawberries, delicate flowers, and a touch of spice are mouth-filling, fresh, and balanced. For a California rose', this is a serious standout.

Big rose with a denser mouthfeel than i am used to on roses. Loads of strawberry on the nose and palate. Would probably go 88-89 points and I'll be interested to try my other bottle. Just think there are better values in this category. Enjoyed this bottle, but not a great qpr in my opinion.

Nose of light red fruit with a kind of smoky rosemary herb scent. Nice mouth but really dry. I'm not big into rose wine but this is something I'd seek out and will buy from Bedrock again.

Big nose of strawberry. Even fruit flavors throughout with a nice finish for a rose. Turns out much smoother and more balanced than the sweetness of the nose would lead you to believe. I dont think it is quite as dry as a Bandol rose, but my experience with those is limited. Perfect drinker year round here in Miami. Popped and pured the day it arrived from Bedrock.

I'll agree with many of the other posts that this is a Bandol-esque wine but I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as the few Domaine Tempier vintages that I've had. To start with, the aromatics were almost non-existent -- a major disappointment in my book. Better on the palate, with good weight and mouthfeel and very good structure and balance. No trace of RS as well, which I appreciate in a dry rosé. Lacked the minerality that I associate …

I gues I will be one of the dissenters on this one... Aromatically challenged on the PnP. Bigger mouth feel than I was expecting for a rose, and seemed a bit flabby initially. Gained balance with time and air, but never quite thrilled me. Perhaps it was just not what I was expecting. I've never had a Bandol Rose, so perhaps I don't have the appropriate reference point, but I was expecting something a little more crisp and lively. My …

I know, I know, 90+ points for a rosé... Okay, so follow me on this one. First and foremost, the '09 Ode to Lulu is hands down the best rosé I have ever had. My first taste of this beautiful creation came at the Bedrock Wine Co. open house/pickup day. I have always enjoyed rosé wines, but I was in no way prepared for the depth and character of this particular bottling. What I discovered was a wine that possesses …

Something a bit off with this bottle. Very little fruit, and alcohol showing through on both the nose and palate -- not at all like other bottles, though it's drinkable.
