2022 Rosé
, Sonoma Coast

91 Points - International Wine Report

Aromas and flavors of watermelon, white nectarine, green melon, blanched almonds, white tea, and just a smooch of dried herbs that hit the back palate.  Graceful and vivacious and will be enjoyed this year through next.  A blend of Pinot Noir from six unique Sonoma Coast vineyards ranging from Annapolis to the Petaluma Gap, Gap's Crown, Sangiacomo, Silver Eagle and Walala Vineyards represent key components used to produce this Rosé.  Simply delicious.

Aromas of fresh peach, Asian pear, citrus, and honeycomb to delight your senses.  The flavors are just as complex with hints of Madagascar vanilla followed by fresh lemon, green apple, wildflower honey, stone fruit, and a touch of lavender.

Bold and berrylike, full-bodied and saturated with jammy blackberry and raspberry that coat the palate and give a luscious ripeness that keeps on giving.  Notes of stewed plums, Morello cherries and raspberry pie and spice, wild thyme and hoisin.
