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 🤜🤛🍓🍉🌹🐚

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.
