Probably past its prime but still decently drinkable for sure

I really liked this one...some definite funk on the nose, which I think it atypical for rose. Good mouthfeel, and the acidity isn't too outlandish (I didn't get reflux from it!). Great strawberry fruit with that delightful funk. Well done, Ryan!

Somewhat high on the acid for my taste, but solid for a sunny day

Popped on a beautiful sunny Sunday and drank on the porch. Great green apple fruit, a touch of melon rind. Good mineral, acid, and overall mouthfeel. Starts to get a touch bitter as it warms up, so I had to pour smaller glasses and keep in the fridge between pours. Good stuff!

Enjoyed with chipotle shrimp tacos in the rainy grayland of the PNW. I though this was delicious. Perhaps it was the memory of warmth and sun clouding my judgement. No, it was great. Not built for the long-haul nor is it as structured as a headliner from Bandol, but delicious in a confident way.

A nice rose from WA state that was acid driven with green strawberries, citrus, metallic twing, and a very clean finish. Screamed for shellfish. Missing the mineral and or slight sweet balance that i've come to enjoy from some of my favorite WA roses lately but very well made.

Very pretty light pink color. Melon and rhubarb-driven nose. Clean, focused palate that has gained a little more weight over the summer. Not the driest or crispiest body, but the taste and balance are very nice. 5+9+16+7 = 87

Wonderfully off-dry with nice acidity and Grenache typicity. Other than Tempier, my favorite 2012 rose. Wish I bought more than two bottles.

Light pinkish copper color. Very gentle nose of peach, tangerine, and melon. Nothing really earthy or floral about it. Nice combination of texture and acidic bite but the fruit is a little tame for my taste. Good persistence and length, though, for a rosy. Drink this summer 5+9+14+7 = 85

For rose, one of the best. Glad we have one more.

Gains complexity with air. After about 90 minutes the nose shows grapefruit, floral notes, a nice salinity, and even an interesting whisper of cured meat. Great, energetic acidity on contact that integrates as the juice gets some oxygen. Grapefruit and not-quite-ripe strawberries with the stems are the primary flavors in the mouth. The fruit turns tart on the finish.

Mother's Day warm-up. Brilliant and crisp on the nose and palate. Tart fruits and minerality really nicely balanced. A beautiful wine to look at.

Great color, and a good dinner pairing. Very bright, but doesn't need to be saved for a sunny day. Showing very nicely vs other WA rosés right now.

Opened to celebrate the first day of spring. Salmon in color. Very fresh with hints of strawberry and pomegranate on the palate. Nice juicy acidity. Very well done and a big improvement over the 2011s. Will be hard to hold off on my other bottle.
