2021 Rose of Grenache
This vibrant salmon colored wine has aromas of fresh strawberry, orange blossoms and spicy floral notes. On the palate, vibrant acidity and a complex fruit profile of ripe strawberries and Rainier cherries. The small amount of Carignan added to this wine provides a hint of tartness and leaves a crisp mineral finish.
