WineDiva's Review

Dry, tangy, earthy
Only 195 cases of this Syrah and Merlot blend rose was made. It's gotten noticeably paler in hue (not like the image shown), a deliberate move by winemaker Howard Soon.
The nose delivers, earthy aromas and wet stone woven with wild red berries, blood oranges, tart citrus and faint spice with distinctly smoky undertones. Leaner than the previous vintage too, it is dry and tangy with good structure but a soft palate.


 
Recommended Pairings
Barbeque, Patio Sippers, White Meat Chicken/Pork, Appetizers, French Food
