Deborah Podurgiel rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

I love this rosé produced by Bartier Brothers Winery on the Black Sage Terrace. It’s what I think rosé should taste like, not sweet but with some intensity, complexity and expression of its terroir. This is a beautifully balanced wine, medium pink and light coral hues in the glass. It is a dry, medium-bodied blend of 11% Cabernet Franc and 40% Chardonnay from Black Sage Terrace, 31% Gewürztraminer and 18% Muscat Ottonel from Summerland. Grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks prior to blending. The wine spent five months resting on its lees. On the nose, there are light florals, mainly rose petal from the Gew, with cold tea, pink grapefruit, soft orange citrus and dusty herb flavours on the palate. There is an elegant lingering minerality and balanced crisp acidity on this wine. Chill and enjoy on its own or with salads, charcuterie platter and in a recent Iron Sommelier challenge, I paired the rosé with Chef Romeo’s warmed black kale salad, squash blossom, jamón ibérico, confit egg yolk, Marcona almond and ricotta dish.
