The pale-colored 2014 Rosé Elke Home Ranch, 100% whole-cluster Pinot Noir, is an absolutely delicious wine to drink now and over the next few years. Bright, perfumed and silky on the palate, the 2014 offers up plenty of bright cranberry and raspberry notes in an appealing crisp, bone-dry style. (AG)

The coppery metallic and mineral has really come out in this wine, wonderful with swordfish and grilled red peppers, so gratifying to see what these old vines that I help care for can do with a deft winemaking hand — 9 years ago

Soft red fruits and rose pedals on the nose. Bright red fruits with light tannins and a lingering finish. Very nice, but I think WS over did it with a 93pt. score. — 9 years ago

Excellent expression. The nose billows out of the glass, with black maraschino cherries, menthol, and wilted rose petals. The acidity accentuates everything on the palate. Well-balanced spicy fruit with schist and sandstone highlights. The acidity sings through to the finish. Great wine. — 8 years ago

The 2014, all Mourvedre, is so pristine; spicy red fruit and rocky spiciness. Lovely, dry, and with a bit of food friendly tannin. — 9 years ago

A favorite rose for the spring and summer. A little deeper than the Provençal rose's, but smooth, dry, and full of fruit. 2014 vintage. — 9 years ago
