Crisp and fruity, notes of watermelon, cantaloupe, and cherry are accented by orange zest, marine salinity, and saffron. I think it’s one of my favorite rosés ever.

Improved from last year, this oldish Rosé is not what it was upon release, but still a formidable, pink summer sip. Rose aromas and creamy fruit.

Flowers, orange blossom, peaches, cherries, tart strawberries, herb stems. Has a little tannic grip on the finish.

Jul 12th, 2020Last year’s release. In-season the touriga nacional gives some oomph, which is a nice counterbalance to AR’s house style and the low 11.5% ABV. But an extra year in bottle has taken this down to a fairly bland, but still refreshing, patio pounder.
