Light pink with aromas of strawberry, red apple, and dried roses. Tart red fruit, chalky limestone, and nicely textured mousse are evident on the palate. A Kermit Lynch import, this is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from their Grand Cru vineyard in Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. Paul Barra has turned over the operation of the estate to his eldest daughter Chantale. — 8 years ago

Brambly red berry fruits. High acid and untamed, a wild expression of #pinotnoir #nzwine — 9 years ago

My guest was celebrating her birthday, she wanted something sweet pink and bubbly. Boom first thing that came up vueve. Sold it for $160 my guest loved it.

The wine has a luminous color with radiant rose accents. The nose is elegant and generous, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry)

Dry with a sneaky spice and strawberry bouquet. A nice and interesting alternative to a white on a hot summer night (or Fall in Hawaii). — 11 years ago

Low alcohol content and decent tannins make this wine easy drinking. And not bad for a prelude to something more serious down the road. — 9 years ago

A rose with body! A touch of strawberry, but not overly sweet. Really a perfect BBQ rose! — 10 years ago

Ok what we have here is the 2011 which I found cleaning out my cellar so I decided to try a flight for thanksgiving. 11 to 13. From the color these wines are indistinguishable. On the nose they all have the same herbal notes. The 11 has thyme and raspberry it's now very elegant and will be awesome with the meal. These wines however taste unique and are not for everyone. Very style consistent through the vintages. The 12 has more strawberry notes and has a bigger mouth feel. The 13 has cherry notes or Kirsch it is my favorite and the best in my book. The rating is for the 2011. I would NOT recommend to age these wines. Drink NOW. Change! 11 now open for 7 days no oxidation better now! I adjusted the rating up. — 11 years ago

An elegant Pinot, gave it an hour to open and brought it refrigerated to dinner. Anderson Valley nose of strawberry followed by a velvety mouthfeel and bright cherry fruit flavors. A long, supple finish follows. — 8 years ago

Nose of tart cherry, wet wood, and hint of strawberry. Great balance on the palate with some acidity and light tannins. Finish lingers nicely with some noticeable smokiness. Failla's single vineyard pinots are even stronger, but this is great value! — 10 years ago
