Drinks almost like a rosé, with a slight rust/orange tint. Berries and orange peel. Nicely paired with baked salmon.

Looks like a sunset, smells and tastes like an autumn day after a rain. Wet leaves, peach and strawberry jam, herbs. Great acidity.

Strawberries, watermelon, and orange blossoms, oh my! Little hints of white pepper on the finish and maybe (dare I say) a bit of eucalyptus?

Man if there was ever a rosé/blush built for food, this is it. Great acidity and depth. A little back-end grip which was a nice surprise as well

Wow. Rorick!! Making trousseau from Calaveras that tastes like poulsard from the Jura. 2nd leaf. Speaks loudly for the future of this grape in Cali.

Super pale, reddish copper color, high acidity, slight bitterness, bright earthy aromas, iron, smells of watermelon jolly rancher, yo!
