Popped and poured; crushed in under and hour. The 2024 Sandlands "Kirschenbloom" pours a striking cerise with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful notes of ripe and tart fruits: watermelon, strawberry, raspberry, red plum, fresh herbs, pink and red flowers, dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with low tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and saline. I needed a case of this...but grateful for what I got. Might be the best rosé made in the United States. Drink now through 2033.
