This is my first time having a FLX rosé. Very unique. This was a gorgeous deep pink in the glass. Oddly enough, this was really “spritzy” shortly after pouring. Being pinot and CF, there aren’t many of those sweet, tropical fruits you get on a lot of Napa & Sonoma rosés...watermelon rind, rhubarb tart and a distinct herbal flair aromatics. Acidity feels quite mellow so there is a definite round and soft feel here on the palate. Bruised cherries, strawberry skin and peach. This may sound odd, but there is a note here that reminds me of a cherry limeade. Very solid for the $20 price point.

@Shay A made me open one! Solid rosé for the price. Wine had bled halfway up the cork but cork was intact and wine sealed. Poured a medium red rose hue into the glass. Nose was half floral, half strawberry. Entry was soft and round. Strawberries and cream. Middle has a hint of raspberry and red cherry. A little hint of stone ground red fruits and limestone to the finish. Seemed to gain acidity when challenged by food but acidity was very much in check here throughout. For me, 91.499.
