Horse Heaven Hills, McKinley Springs Vineyard. Light salmon pink with orange tinge, excellent clarity. Grapefruit pith, orange flavors, white pepper, lemon-grapefruit and mineral finish. Some skin astringency, rounded mouthfeel, decent acidity, almost crisp. Mercifully dry but gently fruity. Still drinking great

Reddish pink with orangish tinge, excellent clarity. White pepper and floral notes in nose, later some tutti frutti emerges. Strawberry, citrus pith and white pepper flavors, dry, mineral with white pepper and cherry finish with length - tangy. Tutti frutti flavor emerges after 90 minutes. Dry, good acidity, fruity, some complexity, solid varietal expression. Boo yah! A superior summertime rosé.

Refreshing rose with a great balance of fruit and acidity. High recommend for a hot sunny day in the park.

I love the hot pink color. Cab franc. Candied violets on the nose plus something that reminds me exactly of Sbarro white broccoli pizza. In a good way.
