Pleasing, fresh, pristine.
Only 175 cases (less than last vintage) of this Syrah and Merlot blend rose was made. In recent vintages it's gotten noticeably paler in hue (it is more of a stained pink now), which was by winemaker Howard Soon's design.
Peach and tangerine and dusty summer berries are layered with light floral and grapefruit notes. It's got a pleasing kiss of sweetness, which makes red fruit pops; a spritz of tangerine, peach skin and vanilla round out the palate. Fresh, zesty and pristine, and IMO better than the 2018.
