"A mix of 90% direct press and 10% saignée, the Reverdy Les Villots is a beautifully balanced rosé with vivacious acidity, very good balance, and enticing aromas and flavors of juicy red berries and pomegranate with excellent underlying minerality. This wine is consistently delicious, year after year."

"Light orange. Fresh raspberry, redcurrant and a subtle touch of jasmine on the incisive nose. Juicy raspberry and blood orange flavors become more minerally with air, offering an enticing combination of power and finesse. The mineral element drives the penetrating, long finish. - Josh Raynolds"

"Firm and nervy, this radiates coolness, from the feel of its acidity to its crunchy sour cherry fruit. It's clean and precise, held firm by the limestone notes that run under the fruit. A terrific pour for a beet and goat cheese salad."

"Medium pink rose. This is just what one wants in a rosé--perfect balance, freshness, bright acidity, and great purity of dried cherry, finishing long and rich. Mostly (90%) direct pressed Pinot Noir, 10% bled."

"This 100% Pinot Noir rose from Sancerre is a consistent winner. The 2012 exhibits wonderful aromas of bay leaf, spring flowers, pomegranate, sweet cherries and underlying earthiness as well as minerality. This forward, delicate, light-colored rose should provide plenty of pleasure over the next year."
