"Pale pink. Showing red apple skin and dusty minerals on the nose, this is a nicely structured, serious rosé that would pair beautifully with delicate, light cuisine. Very dry and savory, the palate shows reticent rhubarb and red currant notes and a long, stony finish. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the first press sourced from organically cultivated vines grown in the Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux; Michel Rolland is the wine consultant. - Don WINKLER"

"Pale orange. Nervy red berry and citrus fruit aromas show good clarity and pick up a spicy nuance with air. Dry and taut on the palate, offering bitter red currant and orange zest flavors that loosen up slowly on the back half. Shows good clarity and spicy cut on the finish, which echoes the red fruit note. - Josh RAYNOLDS"
