Very light in color and very pretty floral nose. Elegant. Really enjoyed this with pizza at The Red Grape

Last winery on day two in Sonoma was Troika Wines with Jeff, Noel and Ari. Next up was their insanely dark Rose from the Split Rock Ranch in Mendocino County made up of 100% Grenache and fermented in neutral French oak barrels.

Medium ruby red with a touch of garnet on the edges. Nose is layered with rhubarb, raspberries, cherries and a little bit of flowers. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium to medium plus body. More strawberries on the palate and cinnamon. Well integrated with a dry and long finish. Drink till 2021.

$$ - Tasted at the winery with Noel, Jeff and Ari. Release price is $36.00.
