Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

I was absolutely enthralled with excitement after reading all about the Bonny Doon Vineyard in Natalies book and knew that one day i had to track this wine down in my local liquor store and prepare to treat myself. I believe back then that i truly had to brake the bank to enjoy my sup, and i felt so "Snobby" it was great! Here we are many years later and although i still feel a touch of decadence when ever i purchase and buy a bottle, i love knowing that i shall never be disappointed!
A Rosé however, well this is a hard sell for me, i usually find rosés a bit too much like pop, refreshing on a summers day and nothing else. Well Bonny Doon delivers what i had been looking for , a delicious rosé that was dry, deliciously balanced acidity to accompany an array of vegetable dishes. wonderful light cherries, strawberries, raspberries and a hint of citrus. Usually made only of red grapes, this rosé has 2 white grapes in its combination which releases a great grounding mineral aroma! the length of this wine is perfect , a good longevity but not overpowering!
Bottoms up!
