Tasting Notes: Pouring a glass, the aromas instantly recall the first Rainier cherries of the season as well as fresh strawberries, reliably found in roadside fruit stands along the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley during the early spring and summer. The clarity of color is such a dazzling garnet that our winemaker’s wife’s immediate reaction was to jealously wish, "put it on my finger!" A jewel for the season, this dry Rosé is an excellent accompaniment to the longer days of summer. Fruit forward with a refreshing acidity, enjoy it chilled as an aperitif on your back porch tonight!
