Everything I want in a rose. Fruit, flower, mineral, in a word, springtime in the nose. Great flavor intensity but very light on its feet, just so compelling to drink. Love this.

This is a rosé for people who don't drink rosé because they feel there's no complexity there. This is loaded with complexity, starting with the color - is it pink, salmon, copper, onion… - and continuing on the nose, which offers up a hint of funk along with a host of saline, herbal aromas. The palate shows more fruit, but stays in the savory range. Zesty acidity tops off this piece of perfection with poise.

Cherry, strawberry, watermelon, pithy lemon, white peach, slate and tangerine. Great acidity and balance.

Just looking at this wine in the glass, before it even hits your nose or lips, you can tell you have something special and unique swirling around. Get ready for the texture and then sip again and again and again being amazed by a wine (especially a "pink" wine) with this level of velvety feel.
