Very light and crisp with a herbal sage, over pear, and lemon. Light, pleasant, and a little vegetal. Gets fruitier if you let it warm up and bit with some orange blossom notes and tropical fruit. — 5 months ago

52% Grenache, 23% Carignane, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvedre.

Always very tasty, drinking great right now, and could lay down for 2 years (Grenache needs a little relax time).

Great house wine, and introduction to BBV Rhone offerings.

The 2019 ‘Dianthus’ Rose is a scintillating new effort that is truly one of the top Rose wines you will find in California. A blend of Mourvedre (52%). Grenache (33%) and Counoise (13%), the ‘Dianthus’ shows off its vibrant pink hue, delivering rich red rose petals and guava tones that collide with suggestions of damp earth and orange blossom aromatics that all take shape in the glass. The palate is marvelously textured with a silky mouthfeel. Layers of red fruits dance with citrus rind, rose water and shades of damp stone on this highly complex palate. The combination of richness, viscosity, tension and length is truly marvelous in this thrilling new Rose. Marvelous to enjoy in its youth, the 2019 ‘Dianthus’ Rose will enjoy a long life ahead of it, picking up early tones as it ages. Drink 2020-2028- 93 — 5 years ago
