A longtime leader in Central Coast rosés, this vintage of Riviera succeeds as usual. A very pale pink in the glass, it offers red apple, chalk and lime juice aromas on the nose. The palate is bright with rose petal and light bubblegum flavors while very tactile and brisk in structure.

Winemaker Notes

Ballet slipper pink with just a slight orange hue. Very pronounced creamy aromas of strawberry and watermelon with floral notes of verbena, passion fruit, and orange blossom. Not shy at all right after bottling. Dry, crisp and dancing on the palate. Just right fruitiness and candy cane flavors that include subtle banana, strawberry, and sweet tarts. The fruitiness is balanced with a touch of mouthwatering acidity and plenty of verve. 

Blend: 86% Grenache, 7% Counoise, 5% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre
