Decanted for about an hour. Dark fruit/cherry fruit on the nose. A hint of anise and white pepper as well. Similar on the pallet with a really profound spiciness. Great acidity. Good fine, bright tannins. Comments calling this "thin" are rather off in my opinion. Broad texture without the goopy tannins. $14 is great value, a pleasant surprise. Better and better it opened up. — 8 years ago

This was a very weird split personality of a wine. I believe Jancis had a note calling it New Worldy. When I poured the first glass I thought she was on crack. From the pale color barely darker than rosé to its welterweight presence and flavors very reminiscent of a Truchot but sans funk, New World pinot would have been the last thing on my mind. And then... and then! A bit of sweet licorice pokes through the otherwise fairly tertiary and earthy flavors and the material steadily gets more and more glossy. It is a really dramatic change. It's not that it even feels much riper, just shinier. It still has burgundian proportions but dammit if it doesn't taste kind of New Worldy. Maybe more New Zealand like than California though. — 9 years ago

Despite Delectable calling this Grenache, it's Syrah and Mourvedre. Cantaloupe, strawberry, and pear. Good mineral. Bitter and smoky finish. I absolutely want peoper-crusted cedar plank salmon with this. — 8 years ago

Good one for calling it a meal. No need to pair with food, just simply enjoy the delightful honey sweet of Moscato. — 9 years ago

We all agree this is so decadent - we are calling it steak in a glass — 9 years ago

This reminded me of the recent 2007 white burgundy I've been calling "my favorite wine ever". What was amazing was tasting the 2012 first, thinking it was somewhat muted, and then tasting this (2010)...for me the word metallic comes to mind, but it's just plain hard to describe wine like this--it's complex, very aromatic, intense, savory, rich, elegant, and delicious. Chardonnay--the so-called neutral grape--can do so much if we let it. — 9 years ago

Our warm weather is calling for the Roussanne! Light w/ nice white flower and wet stone characteristics. We are pleased to see CA still does produce wine with 12.6% alcohol. — 10 years ago

What can I say, I love this stuff! Have drinken quite a bit of it this week and as always love the slight spritz and balance initially...so drinkable, but new takeaways for me...cand def age this wine; and calling it a Rose is a bit of a disservice to its versatility. Held up all the way theough a meal of shrimp and heirlooms to Filet Mignon with Port/Gorgonzola sauce. Just amazing as always...my desert island wine. — 8 years ago

Texture. That's what makes this wine so damn enjoyable. It's loaded with dark chewy fruit and a hint of dusty chocolate. Round and smooth and voluptuous. The nose isn't amazing and it's not an intellectual wine, but bloody hell it's nice and keeps calling for another sip. It even carries the high alcohol pretty well (but maybe avoid it on a hot day). And it's $12! Crazy. Except that it's hard to get hold of. — 9 years ago

Interesting auction winning from Jim Nance. Bunnies or Boobies in this picture? Either way, the more the merrier. — 9 years ago

Our neighbor brought over this wine and it's so good. Very smooth Pinot Noir. Strong smells of berries and the ending is as rich as bread and butter. — 10 years ago
