About this wine
94 POINTS! Spring is here — and summer isn’t far behind...and trust me when I say you are gonna want some of this EPIC Sonoma Coast Rosé! UNDER $20, to boot?! The season of PINK is upon us!!! If you didn’t know, Rosé took a big hit during the pandemic…delivery delays to markets across the globe, and the eventual flooding of the market with cheap, already aged product that was never meant to survive more than a few months meant that really, really good Rosé took a hit. But the industry is moving past all that — and hyper-fresh, deliciously complex, carefully sourced and precisely crafted Rosé is BACK! 94 POINTS, people! Rosé almost NEVER pulls down scores like that — but this is RED CAR! One of the early waves of California “cult wines” from back in the day, and it is truly astounding for us to have some of this at a wicked-bomber price of UNDER $20! 100% Pinot Noir, from the cool Pinot-shang-gri-la plots on the Sonoma Coast — specifically the Ryder Vineyard in Forestville and the Ramondo Vineyard in the Sebastopol Hills — this rose gold, supremely crisp, juicy, and mineral baddie is one of the top California Rosés for a reason…you’re not going to be able to stop sipping this on the regular! We bought every single bottle we could...but you know the deal…just go go GO! BEST PRICE ON THE PLANET! You know it, friends, and when you pop this — get ready to PARTY! The explosive sensations of summer strawberries, and white cherries, with flinty, river rock intensity, and the zippy, zesty sensation of freshly peeled oranges, and lingering, beguiling aromas of star jasmine and fresh-cut grass, with this watermelon agua fresca finish…YES!!! Fully complex and structured to enjoy with food, but simply OVERLOADED with that juicy, crushable delectability that makes this perfect for popping ANYTIME! I’m thinking that one more case after my initial two when this first landed…maybe…MAYBE that will last me through into the summer?!?! Just a killer bottle at this price — heck it’s a great bottle at its ORIGINAL price!! But THIS?!?! PLEASE do what you must — spring is here, and summer is right around the corner — and you’ll be nothing short of hella-stoked you have some of this 94 POINT maven to drink! While it lasts!
