An inadvertently aged bottle. Salmon pink, excellent clarity. Aromas of flowers, black pepper. Cherry and citrus peel flavors, fruity, blessedly dry, good acidity. Drink by itself or with food; it’s held up well.
The city hall across the street is apparently closed, so I’m sheltering in place with the men and women in blue, in terms of my location Foursquare-wise. Everything’s closed here on a Friday evening, no food delivery, no food pickup once the burger drive-in here closes... we socially distance in earnest in Seattle.

Something to accompany me as I rebuild my laptop after replacing a failed hard drive (an imperfect pairing, I'll admit). Light salmon pink in color. Strawberry, sage, mint and other herbal notes in nose. Strawberry, cherry and later orange flavors, citrus pith finish; dry, slight spritz, good acidity. Tasty enough to celebrate the end of the first warm day of spring.

Light orange pink in color. Floral, strawberry and black pepper notes in nose. Strawberry, cherry and black pepper notes in mouth., cherry water and orange finish, hint of spritz. Good acidity, bone dry. Complex flavor profile, excellent varietal character.

Still one of the best roses of the vintage. Dry to off-dry.
