Nose has mashed under-ripe raspberry, dried orange peel, crushed leafy greens and freezer burned vanilla ice cream.
Palate has semi-dried tangerine, under-ripe strawberry, under-ripe peach and a lightly sweet saline note to the finish.
In a better place than the 2019 version opened aside this evening.
Needs a year to relax.

Aug 8th, 2020Bright acidity initially and then tangerine, apricot, yellow watermelon rind, and a crisp and creamy finish. A thinking Rose.

Agree with @Bill Bender seems that anything PYCM touches is just stellar. No exception here. Some what a unicorn coming out of Chassagne-Montrachet tangerine, apricot and cream out of the glass. Acid is still in the front of the palate then rolls to the back for a sustained long finish. You get all the elements of cream, yellow watermelon and minerals.

Light rose pink color in the glass with a truly magnificent nose of fresh fruit and floral accents. Just by smelling this you know it’s more than a cut above. Tons of strawberries, nectarines, apricots. A hint of vanilla and cream.
When it comes to rosé there’s just so much crap flooding the market nowadays. All are similarly priced, with the resquisite pretty label and pretty bottle. They all taste just alike too. This has depth and personality to spare. You wouldn’t call this a porch pounder, you would say it’s elegant. Definitely not a fruit bomb. Rather, it’s clean and dry.
On the palate, it’s surprisingly fresh and lively. Peaches and cream, orange zest, and melon. More red fruits and crisp acidity. Really, really nice stuff. Reaffirms my faith. It’s no surprise that PYCM makes what is probably the best rosé around, is it?
