Super dry, almost too much so. 11.9%! Picked a bit early maybe? Still good.

Made from Grenache (86%) & Syrah grapes sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara & Alamo Creek in San Luis Obispo County & also blended with Counoise & Cinsaut, through a process called Saignée where a portion is bled off to yield a slightly pink juice from a red must right after crush. Light salmon with aromas of fresh berry fruits & subtle spices. On the palate flavors of strawberry and sweet spices, slightly savory. Soft drying tannins, light body ending with a mineral characteristics. Tasting Sample!

Cans are a great idea, why is the taste making a bad name for cans?! 😐

Delicate colour, light and dry on the palate. A perfect poolside wine

Reminds me of a lovely early summer’s day, when it’s not too hot, but warm enough to enjoy the outdoors. Restrained and light - not a typical Central California rose. Light red fruit on the nose, minerals and red fruit in the mouth. High acid. Moderate length. 11.9% alcohol....Very refreshing and good QPR.

I love the muscularity of this rose; it relaxes at the finish, but nice and strong from the start.
