Wine Enthusiast
This crisp and classy wine tastes dry, tight but complex from the persimmon and raspberry aromas to the lively white-raspberry and white-peach flavors. It has taut acidity balanced by touches of spicy maturity that keep it interesting through the lingering finish. (JG)

Connoisseurs Guide
Spot on with respect to Rosé’s fruitier bent but exhibiting a fine yeasty trim of autolysis and lots of youthful energy, this one is a vivacious, slightly lighter, carefully composed example of the genre that is both moderately rich and light on its feet. Juicy yet graceful and quietly complex, it is a pleasure to pour now with or without food, but its youthful brightness is such that it promises to keep famously and provide happy drinking for at least another three or four years. And, its relatively modest price belies just how good it is. *Good Value*

Wine & Spirits
While this wine feels gentle, its briskness brightens its scents of strawberries and nasturtiums. It’s Pinot Noir at the cusp of ripeness, holding a floral green note that would take on duck rillettes.

Wine Spectator
lush and creamy, with generous peach, strawberry and graham cracker flavors that end on a festive accent. (TF)
