I had this on the 4th of July weekend in St. Helena because it was the most promising rosé option available in the town; it filled the bill more than adequately.

I don't understand the "ESP given it's (sic) parentage" comment.

Yeah, I liked it, too.
What is ESP etc.?
Best, Jim

I haven't been able to ascertain that they still own the property, but assuming they do, how does that make "remarkably clean, fresh and non-spooylated" a surprise, which I take the ESP (I'm reading this as "especially") comment to imply?

BTW, de Villaine was always a passive investor and the Seysses were the active operators of the property.
