The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush and creamy texture filled with ripe berry fruit with a touch of spice and subtle oak notes. Medium-bodied with a great fruit focus, ideal balance, and a very subtle interplay of oak that allows the fruit to shine. $19 – 4 Stars - 91 points

Brilliant, light straw color. The nose is incredibly floral with ripe peaches, pear, star fruit, melon, and pineapple with a balancing citrus zest.

Brilliant, ruby red color being one of the most deeply colored Rosé wines of the season.
