Reviews and Ratings

Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A fresh, vibrant rosé.…
Presentation: Understated, non-descript, would get lost on the shelf
Appearance: Pale-medium salmon
Nose: Light nose, with notes of strawberries, tropical fruit (melon), and flower perfume (roses)
Taste: Dry, medium body, high acidity, low tannins, with notes of minerals and pink grapefruit
Finish: long on the grapefruit
Overall impression: A fresh, vibrant rosé, that would do well on the patio, at a BBQ or with any meal on a warm summer’s night. Any food with acidity (seafood with lemon juice, or tomato-based pasta, for example).
Value: 4/5

Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Aromas of strawberry and very effervescent tickling the taste buds. Very dry on the palette with flavours of strawberries and citrus. This would be a great summer sipper or for brunch.

Tasted November 19, 2017

Caitlin Coleman rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Salmon pink in colour. Strawberry sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top but in a glass and a quarter of the calories! Flavourful palate reflecting all the aromas. It is a ‘drink the whole bottle’ kind of wine.

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This wine has changed a bit since its creation, a year ago. The blend has removed the Sangiovese component; a somewhat difficult blending partner that can be finicky to grow and vinify. The blend is 97% Syrah, with Syrah's bff Grenache eating up the remaining 7%.
Pretty bubblegum pink colouration.
The aromas are fresh and floral, with some citrus and stone fruit (nectarine). They judiciously picked these grapes early, before they overripened, to make sure it would have fresh acidity.
Flavourwise, it's great! Tons of cara cara orange, red grapefruit, peach, and apple. Towards the finish, some candoed raspberry flavours.
The new iteration of this rosé is a definite step in the right direction.
Great rosé for casual get togethers, this summer. It's aromatic and complete, but also easy for many in a group to appreciate. It would go well woth watermelon, light cheese (maybe bocconcini in a salad).

Mary Anne van Gaal rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This pretty salmon coloured rose tastes as good as it looks. Aromas of peach, and honey give way to flavours of grapefruit and crisp apple. A nice summertime sipper to pairing with white fish. Tasted November 19, 2017

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A super interesting wine with strawberry cream, orange blossom and a hint of beet. Super playful. 89 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Summer in a glass! Fields of strawberries and freshly cut grass transform to a zippy lime finish.
Lovely with soft cheeses and a variety of puff pastry appetizers.
Tasted November 2017.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nose: rich cherry, cantaloupe, strawberry
Palate: creamy strawberry, cherry, refreshing acidity, mineral notes, medium bodied
Pair with turkey dinner or as an aperitif with milder soft or hard cheeses & prosciutto

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A blend of Syrah and Sangiovese. Pale pink salmon colour with a moderate bouquet of strawberries, honeydew melon, citrus, and spice. Flavours are moderate and reveal zesty peach, blood orange, strawberry candy and a touch of vanilla raspberry sorbet at the end. Medium acidity, with a light body and finish. Ripe and juicy, not overly sweet (5g/L) pleasant and light. Pair with spring salads, light cheeses and salmon mousse. 87 points tasted November 19, 2017

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This slightly effervescent rosé has a pretty pink colour, which is accented with pale salmon highlights. Its subdued bouquet smells of firm, underripe strawberries that follows as a soft strawberry taste on the tongue, ending fast with a medium trobbing acidity. A simple summer sipper. Score 85.
(S.Segard, reviewed Nov. 19, 2017)

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Wild strawberry aromas, the palate tastes like a strawberry candy. Rather simple, lacks personality.
