This rosé is a lovely, light coral pink. Aromas of Indian River Ruby Red grapefruit flow up from the glass. The palate is all citrus, sweet nectarines and bright pink grapefruit. Well integrated but very light tannins are detectable. This is a very pretty, very refreshing, classic provencal rosé. Drink

This is a very pleasant Sauv Blanc, and a good exemplar for what Napa Valley can do with this grape. Poached pears and white florals show on the nose. It is more tart on the palate than on the nose, with tiny green apples, white grapefruit, and jalapeño peppers. Grapefruit

Aromas coming from the glass are intense, including blueberry, lavender, smoke, and graphite. The palate is just as big and true to the nose, but tight. Tannins are still muscular, and black fruit is tight and angular. This is a very well made wine but very young. Give it five

The color is a very pale pink. The nose shows cherries and strawberries. On the palate, candied cherries and strawberries get a bit of balance, tart and bitter, from lemon zest. This is a pleasant warm-weather sipper to pair with hot dogs and a back yard. Recommended. 86 points. DBH

The color is absolutely lovely, a true pink, with amazing clarity. The nose is soft, with fresh strawberries and florals. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fruity, ripe with sweet strawberries and tart cranberry. The finish adds a zing of citrus. This is a terrific value and a very
