My favorite rose every year. The light color belies the depth of flavor here, with gobs of strawberry, watermelon and lively acidity.

Petrol and cherries. Watermelon pepper and a hint of RS. Interesting.

This is a great Rosé! Floral notes lead to raspberry and spice aromas. Strawberry, watermelon and melon flavors give this Rosé freshness. The dry minerality gives way to a long finish. A Sonoma FAV if you can get it!

So curious how the other vintages were. This one is quite light and minerally and I am yet to detect the watermelon notes everyone else gets. I get more a hint of raspberries and some sort of orange blossom and pink grapefruit. That whiff of minerality that makes you feel beachy and...dang why is there not a tasting descriptive that really just says "fresh"? Like a waft of new air in a room that's been closed. Or, conversely the smell of a nice damp stony cave. Somewhere between that.This wine has that. But that waft is perfumed with the grapefruit and berries I mentioned...

Bright berry notes, primarily strawberry, with crisp acidity. Excellent Rose!
