Nose has strawberry, red apple slice, red currant bunch, ripe cherry and dry earth.
Palate has cherry, raspberry, orange pith, red apple peel, light green herbs with a light tannic grip.
What a color! Nice wine, plenty of fruit to please most palates, decent finish; fun blend of grapes!
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. For Opening Night our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading an all BEETHOVEN program (Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, Piano Concerto No. 5 (Emperor) and Symphony No. 5) with one of our local treasures, Emanuel (Manny!) Ax on piano.
It's been a long time coming to get on the best manicured lawn in the Berkshires, 2020 saw a full withdrawal of the in-person season because of the pandemic. Now we're back with a very abbreviated season, limited capacity grounds and shed; we've returned, all celebrating the greatest orchestra in the world!

Fruity, floral, and mineral, this rosé has notes of strawberries, ruby red grapefruit, red apple peel, wilted peonies, dry earth, and flint. 🍓🍉 Med+ acidity and a smooth, round mouthfeel. I honestly love everything Chidaine does so I might be a bit biased.

Not so acidic as most rosés this pale yet no sense of dullness or complacency. Leesy & flattering; affectionate.

Smells like a watermelon dipped in balsamic. A bit spicy, a bit earthy, a bit fruity and all balanced on a thread of acid. NOT your stereotypical rose

Ароматы травы, коры дерева, персик, красное яблоко.
Коротковатое, лёгкое тело, средняя минус кислотность.
