Full review: http://blog.oe-no-phile.com/2009/07/rose-to-kick-all-other-roses-in-teeth.htmlTasting Notes Appearance: Clear with medium+ intensity. Definitely darker/deeper than many a rose - somewhere between rose and cranberry juice pink. Nose: Just shy of being incredibly aromatic, the youthful aromas definitely jump out. Included are grapefruit, citrus, lemon, cherry, strawberry, very soft vegetal, and floral notes. Palate: Dry wine with medium+ acidity, body, and alcohol. Each sip leaves your mouth watering, making for a very refreshing wine. Flavors are medium in intensity and make me think of cranberry, sour cherry, lemon, green apple, pineapple and other tropical fruit, and bell pepper - thank you C.S.

Wowo-zowo! What an awesome wine. Deep purple color, heavy stained tears, full bodied with just the right amount of tannin and huge fruit characteristics - black cherry, raspberry, plum - plus chocolate, coffee, and I could keep going on and on. Had this with dinner (tartiflette) and then continued having it with our double chocolate truffle raspberry brownie cheesecake. YUM!

Had this at La Cave du Vin in Cleveland Heights - amazing wine! Aromas that would make you think twice about it - barn yard and earth. Deliciously earthy and fruity on the palate.

Had this at a local wine bar last night. Amazingly I've never had a Cab from WA, and ended up really, really enjoying this. Great body, and ultr-smooth. Cost was under $20 (retail) and I'll definitely be purchasing some for my colelction at home. Paired up with a brownie that had dark chocolate and dried cherries (not the first time I've paired these up with red wine and been thoroughly amazed). Amazing fruit on this guy.

Paired with grilled lamb, bulgar wheat & feta, stuffed grape leaf, and grape chutney (Whole Foods, Counter Culture: Greek Isles). Great pairing with roasted, gamey meats. Aged in oak for one year. Black fruit, cherry, currant, raspberry.

Paired with olive oil poached cod, okra & potato stew, and kalamata tapanade (Whole Foods, Counter Culture: Greek Isles). Incredible pairing with an amazing dish. Full of white pepper and citrus.

Beautiful and refreshing dry rose. Paired with roasted turkey breast (was supposed to be duck) with pears on a saute of spinach, raisins, and pine nuts. Paired excellently with the veg - turkey killed all the fruit and made it rather sour. Citrus and bright berry flavor shines through. Crisp and light with a short to mediuum finish.
