About the Wine

Visually stunning this year, there is a slightly less orange, or salmon, hue and a bit more magenta and violet, though still classically "light" in color overall, signifying a gentle extraction and hinting at the quaffable and thirst-quenching character that awaits on the palate. While Grenache is again the anchor, at 77%, the inclusion of Primitivo and Petite Sirah as the next most dominant varieties has yielded a truly beautiful color while in no way taking away from the gorgeous Grenache-driven aromatics. This year Grenache-centric strawberry fruit sits side-by-side with ripe nectarine and white peach, with the more typical grapefruit, rhubarb, and raspberry notes being subtle and nuanced. The palate has concentration, but is never heavy, with refreshing acidity and a seamless balance drawing you back for more. Should go well with all classic Rose food-wine pairings, or just on its own. A true triumph for a very challenging year!
