Pink/orange color with long legs and a deep hue, this is a very mature rose. Fresh ripe strawberries with the green leaves still attached, hints of orange rind and raspberry jam, with a touch of hibiscus and rose water deeper down. Medium bodied, silky texture, with deep flavors that ultra ripe red fruits, with cognac like richness, hints of blood orange, maybe some grapefruit, roses, not much acidity, and a finish that has a slightly alcohol freshness, not bad, just bigger than you’d expect from your typical rose.

👃 opens up after 15- 20 minutes, less than 12% abv
Nice recommendation by @Severn Goodwin
Not a fruit heavy Rosé’
K&L notes,
Something we've never had before at K&L, but I managed to squeeze a few cases out of them, is Turley's Zin rose! A crisp dry wine with mouth watering acidity, very limited supply. (Ryan Woodhouse - K&L Domestic Wine Buyer) Winery Notes: "We select a few of our Zinfandel vines to pick early (at 19 brix) to make this vivid, dry rosé. Pale rose petals and fraise du bois with a touch of petrichor on the nose. The palate is high in acid, low in alcohol (11.6%), well-structured and thoroughly refreshing. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged only in used French barriques. Though akin to Provençal rosés in the way it’s made, this wine is distinctly Californian. White Zinfandel has a good heart but a bad reputation; hopefully we can help change that."
