Nice Rose by Banshee. These guys have been killing it recently. Somewhat pale in color, almost orangish. Creamy mouthfeel with some bright fruit. Honeysuckle and orange peel. I like this wine

A very young 2015 that is tart and green. Hints of unripe watermelon and white grapefruit. Faint white roses start to bloom as this wine warms. Showing hope, but needs a few months.

2015 vintage, and it shows. Beautiful copper color, but it just about ends there. Viscosity and palate show virtually no RS. Very faint nose, can't pick up much of any fruit. Little salted watermelon as it warms, but over all extremely green and young on the palate. Tastes a bit more like the buds than the fruit. Have to sit on this one for a while.

Slightly dry but fruit forward. Very pleasant. Would buy again

Really enjoyable and great value. Aromas of stone-fruit. Initial acidity and crispness makes it a great day drinker, but the rich finish also paired perfectly with white fish.

Take a perfect rose and funk it up! But in a good way. A sour treat of deliciousness.
