This is real tasty stuff. Super small production Pinot Noir rose from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Got to try these guys at a tasting event and fell in love - they also make method champenoise vintage bubbly.. killer stuff.
Super bright nose with loads of strawberry, watermelon, and kool-aid-like aromas. Delicious richness and zingy acidity. Lots of character. Just a freaking enjoyable bottle. Worth seeking out all summer long no matter where you are. Oh, and 500ml packaging is cool.

500ml. I may need the missing 250ml. Impressive. Balanced in its rich acidic strawberry watermelon deliciousness. #RoséAllDay #SummerOfRosé

You know, I drink a few of these every vintage, and I post most of them here. So there isn't a lot new to say, especially with the wine is so consistently delicious.
It did strike me this time though, that I don't actually enjoy many other pinot rosés. I gravitate more towards those from Mediterranean varieties; they're usually just more savory and complex. But this wine, this is a big exception. Props 🤜🤛🍓🍉🌹🐚

Jul 16th, 2021Held off on opening this one for almost a year, as it has always seemed like an ageworthy rosé though I'd never tested that idea. Happy to report that the red fruit is a touch richer, but otherwise it's unchanged. Racey acidity, sandy minerality, could easily go another 2yrs and start to get more nutty and curious. 🍉🌿🐚

Tart plum, underripe peach, cooked strawberry, quince, mandarin orange, lemon, hints of white pepper, with a prominent mineral backbone. So much going on with a wide flavor profile. Medium minus alcohol and high acid.
