Drinkable, but not memorable. We've found many others at this price point that are better. Crisp and dry. Best with food.

Sadly, this is our last bottle. We've yet to find a store in Phoenix that carries it. This has been a go to Rosé for many years.

Somewhat one note. Has some good fruit. Drank after the Psagot Sinai M Series and it was not as good.

Great food wine. Good balance in the blend with nic notes added by the Petit Sirah.

Fruity but not a fruit bomb. Dry. Shiraz is more pronounced than the Cabernet Sauvignon. The balance is enjoyable. Medium mouth feel. Light tannins. Sustained finish. Great food wine.

12/20/2023 - bradfriedlander Likes this wine:

As good as I remember from the tasting a couple years ago. Can last many years into the future. Full bodied. Pronounced fruit with a blend that isn't dominated by any single varietal.

This is a delicious bargain. Dry and crisp with bitter orange top notes. Paired well with a light dinner. Pleasant to sip and great with food.

Delicious! The bottle barely lasted through dinner for two. Dark fruit. Intense flavors even after 11 years. Dry with soft tannins. Multiple layers of taste. Petit Sirah shines through as a top note. A little menthol on the nose. Paired well with spicy fajitas. Medium mouth feel. Sustained finish. Although mostly Syrah, the Grenache and Mourvedre provide the real base for the wine.
