Winemaker's Notes
Our elegant Rosé has vibrant flavors of strawberries, raspberries, and Meyer lemon with aromatic notes of fragrant white florals
John's Notes
Aromas of fresh strawberries mingle with red raspberries and white flower blossoms, plus hints of orange peel and minerality. The palate leads with those same red fruits and flowers, then adds a touch of black pepper backed by mouthwatering acidity. A clean, fresh, easy to enjoy Rosé. Definitely worth a try
