Mostly Syrah, with some Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a succulent rose with a marvelous mouthfeel. Texture and length are its main charms, with nuanced notes of rose petal, hibiscus, watermelon and pie cherry. The vineyard sources are Klipsun, Boushey and Ciel du Cheval. — (11/1/2012) —91

It sports a big, effusive nose of strawberries and watermelon; fruit-forward and powerful, it’s peppery and bursting with fresh fruit flavor. This is the anti-Bandol style, aiming to capture the vibrant vitality of great Washington fruit.——P.G.(11/1/2010)—— 89

A lot of power in this tangy, peppery and surprisingly tannic rose, but it’s fresh as can be. Strawberry and cranberry fruits meet pepper and spice, set off with a lovely rose color lightly tinged with blue.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 88
