A unique rosé blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 30% Zinfandel, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah and 5% Petite Verdot with a nose of ripe strawberries and raspberries. Refreshingly rich flavors of spicy cherry, ripe raspberry, strawberry, red berries, ripe watermelon, rhubarb with excellent food pairing acidity.
