2021 Rosé of Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

Each year as we taste the new Rosé it feels like we’re settling down on a picnic blanket in the sun with bowls of fresh fruit and smelling spring flowers on the breeze. The 2021 Rosé is definitely perfect for a day in the sun but has plenty going on to make it a serious wine for food pairings of all sorts. Violets, strawberry, and honeydew melon swirl out of the glass. The palate is quite bright showing cranberry and bright cherry. Interestingly there is a fun yin/yang component to the finish that is both silky and tart, maybe "lemon curd" is the best way to describe it. (Updated 5.1.22 - Alan)
