Amazing rosé. Amazing. Beautiful pink/strawberry-ish hue with a nose full of grilled pineapple, watermelon and oranges. There's florals and pink peppercorn spice rounding out the edges and in the mouth those flavors shine. There's great acidity and well-balanced structure and if this isn't in the dictionary as the definition of "patio pounder" I don't know what would be instead.

16' Buttonwood Syrah Rose. I only purchased 3 Rose wines this year. We tasted a couple dozen of them. Quite tasty.

If every rosé I tried tasted like this I would probably never go back to whites or reds. Orange flowers and oils along with some iron - rich minerality leap from the glass while the palate is refreshingly alive and balanced. This is what a cool breeze on a summer day tastes like.

Watermelon. Low alcohol, refreshing. Bough at new horizons in solvang and drank at home with laura and Caroline with poached sea bass and leeks.

2014 vintage - watermelon and strawberries. Almost a tart, yogurt, creaminess with a bit of effervescence.
