Wine Review: This coral-colored wine with an orange tinge opens with a white peach and tangerine bouquet with hints of maraschino cherry and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, bright, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a slightly tart white peach and orange zest blend with notes of chalky minerality, pink grapefruit, and saline. I also detected hints of red raspberry tea in the aftertaste. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would pair this Rose wine with popcorn shrimp. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This aromatic rosé draws you in with tantalizing layers of white peach, honeydew melon and tropical lychee. On the palate, it shimmers with cool-climate verve and energy, offering mouth-filling flavors of grapefruit, Meyer lemon and orange blossom that culminate in a bright, beautifully focused finish.
