Broc Cellars
Solano County Trousseau Rosé
Green Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Hardly a rosé… chilled this drinks like Hawaiian Punch with some kind of natty funk dry finish, light and sticky. Wasn’t too sure at first, but it grew on me quickly.

@Delectable Wine I don’t believe the 21 vintage is technically a rosé (despite its almost transparent magenta color).
Anyhow, Chris Brockway has a knack for making “Hawaiian punch for grown ups wines” (and I mean this as a great compliment!) in that his wines are consistently & addictively drinkable in that fruity-glouglou-sorta-kinda-natty-but-clean-accessible way. They are wines one can drink at any occasion and that will please almost any palate, sophisticated or not.
This was one of the wines that stood out to me at the spring release this year. Trousseau with a little Zin blended in. Pomegranate, red plum, carbonic crunch, and a touch of volcanic ash spice on the finish. Fragrant and fresh.
