Pet Peeve:Wines that are overpriced because they are popular or have a well-known name. Oh, and corks that break. I'm a big fan of screw tops and those cool German glass stoppers.
Pet Peeve:Proprietary blends that cost too much and wine lists that show a lack of enthusiasm....
Pet Peeve:I dislike the trend toward fruity vs. buttery chardonnays. I'm old-school, and am afraid my age is showing.

Notes:
The appearance is light, handsome, and translucent crimson. The scent suggests both melon and (according to my girlfriend) strawberry. This lovely wine had a soft, soft texture, and bright bursts of apricot (tho girlfriend says cherry). The finish is succinct but complex; perhaps due to weightier implications of Bordeaux. When Rose succeeds, it blends red and white in the same way that the enchanted hour after sunset embarces day and night; though the finish of this unassuming Rose is terse, the moment is summery without being saccharine, reminiscent of the endless ease of a June dusk.Rating: 83 / 100 Submitted by: pcassidy on 12/31/1969
