A random bottle from a recent Fukubukuro offer from Navarro. 692 cases produced of the Grenache-Carignane blend. Reddish-pink, excellent clarity. Dry, medium-to-strong fine-grained skin tannin astringency, strawberry flavor with some guava, as accurately noted on their website. Tart strawberry and mineral finish with good acidity balance. A different style and flavor profile than most rosés - West Coast, French and Italian - I’ve tried in the last few years...

Really pleasant. I love my affordable Navarro wines and this Rose is easy to drink, even at a few years old. Strawberry and rhubarb! Easy drinking that is for sure! 🍓

Delicious! Got from Benchmark a couple times and loved it. Summery, easy, fresh.

Lovely pink color. Hints of rainwater and apple juice on the nose. Flavors are soft and easy (as rosé should be). Holds it own on the crisp finish. Friendly and nice. Rosé for everyday.

I love this, a beautiful pale salmon color and smells like a honeyed watermelon rind with a little sweet mint. It reminds me a little of a Gewürztraminer.
