Winemaker’s Notes: Our Southern Rhône Valley-style Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre reminiscent of the wines of the Rhône's Tavel region. It's a dry, bracingly fresh pink wine with intense red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas complemented by hints of wild herbs and game. On the palate, it delivers delicious, concentrated flavors of raspberry, red cherry, hibiscus blossom, blood orange, spice and cream, culminating in a crisp, mouthwatering finish that begs for smoked or grilled salmon, picnic chicken or a simple lunch of olives, baguette and cheese. Enjoy this lovely wine over the next 1-2 years.
