Buty
Rosé of the Stones
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Rockgarden Estate, 68/32 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre. Salmon pink with an orange tinge. Strawberry note in nose, raspberry flavor that fades followed by a slight green melon (honeydew) and strawberry flavor with length, moderate skin astringency with a mineral finish. More savory and structured than many will be used to. For me, though, this is a special, very dry and not-fruit-forward rosé (though that subtle strawberry and honeydew flavor lingers). Good fermentation character without super high acidity, and delicious.

Nice complex dry Rose. Very nice. Always like Buty's wines.

Akin to a malty beer. Too sweet. Super-soft mouthfeel, but overall...blah.
