Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Nose is really nice, with slightly weedy, bright cassis and dark berry fruit, loamy gravel, and sandalwood. On the palate the fruit hits first, but then it clenches a bit, relaxing toward the end by releasing savory notes that cling nicely. I like the overall balance, with fruit, some tannin in the mid palate, and pretty nice acids. It’s listed at only 13.8%, which I heartily applaud! And I got it dirt cheap from Garagiste.

Bright, not tart like other roses. Fruity but mellow.
