Uber gorg. Rose petal/Lime Pith. Love the unexpected interplay between creamy texture and the bright acid profile. All at 12.5 ABV. Well done @Tyler Elwell and @Kimmy Shultz with their second annual Cab Franc rose from @halcyonwines — 8 years ago

Being previously acquainted with most of Herr Reisetbauer's handiwork, on first sticking in my snout and taking a lick I was disappointed and confused. This doesn't taste like a berry in a bottle! This smells of dry musty leaves, and sun on black earth, and, well musty in a nice way, and... earthy in a wholesome way, and, now that you mention it, it's almost like the smell of wading head-first into a sun-baked raspberry bramble- and then all at once you're in over your head, it's in your head, around your head, through your head- every last nuance of the most perfect, sunny, dusty handful of raspberries you've ripped from the thorns and smashed in your mouth. He hasn't put a berry in a bottle, he's put a halcyon dream of the perfect day spent picking raspberries in a bottle. Clearly the man is a wizard. — 9 years ago

Smooth and polished. I am again excited to see the Italians do some good work. Excellent with halibut as well as a steak. The dried red fruits and baking spices and tobacco after taste remind me of halcyon days...... — 5 years ago

Double IPA de l' excellente brasserie Thornbridge qui titre à 7.4. J' adore cette bière, parmi mes préférées. Une petite amertume amenée en bouche par de très bons houblons — 7 years ago

Brought this wine up with us to the famed Viking Yurt in Park City. It was a nice, warming wine despite exhibiting a bit of the thinness that comes with many a Pinot. Also paired with butternut squash soup and you know that worked.

Light sparkling straw colour with a faint nutty bouquet. A hint of oil on the texture whilst the taste is lightly creamy and nutty, almost of sweetcorn with "tropical fruit salad" notes as others have flagged. Also some wood which adds an almost burnt / smoky tinge. Probably not the best vintage but not bad at all - this wine holds a number of memories for my father and myself on a trip to San Sebastián so perhaps comparisons to those prior halcyon days are always going to prove a difficult match. Special mention to the striking label design. Would go very well with paella, etc — 9 years ago

From the winery: "100% Cabernet Franc from Contra Costa County. After years of extracting slight orange color for our rose, we decided to go rogue and just press the skins directly. Thus this wine, although made from red grapes, is white. It is hands-down the best 'rosé' we've made."
For $14.00 it was a nice refreshing wine
