After the blanket of reduction that plagued the 2017, the latest vintage of this west coast rosé is back to the solidly medium style of 2016, although it still feels a little overworked and over sulfured. The color is radiant pink—somewhere between Provence and Rioja—and the nose offers aromas of cherries, watermelon and dried herbal strawberry-leaf tones. The palate feels like there's just a touch of residual sugar although it's barely detectable amidst the mouthwatering acidity, juicy red fruit and slightly creamy texture.
