This rosé wine is a shade of salmon that leans more into pink than orange. The breezy nose gives a lovely show of cherry and strawberry aromas, with a bit of salinity peeking through. The palate brings plenty of cherry fruit into play with a bracing acidity. Citrus lingers on the finish. Pair this with salads and seafood for sure, but if you have a pork chop on the grill, unscrew the cap.

This salmon colored wine passes the “pretty test” - the first hurdle for any rosé - with no trouble. The sniff test holds a bit of funky fruit. Rather than ripe strawberries, there is a savory angle. The palate follows that path, but allows a bit more of the fruit to shine through. It is a pleasant enough pinkie, if somewhat unremarkable. It should pair quite nicely, says the winery, with a proscuitto and melon salad or shellfish.

Seems too sweet sometimes. Rich with some tonic bitterness too. A little harsh. Not too overpowering. Just a faint hint of lion yoga pose.
