Composed of Mourvèdre and Grenache, this rosé is a field blend. The nose is full of blossoming orchard flowers, and the addition of a pinch of Syrah adds to a mouthfeel full of slight creamy strawberry flavors. The wonderful lingering finish is full of citrus fruits which will make this wine perfect for drinking on long spring and summer days.
One of the great and most distinctive vineyards of Washington State, Evergreen Vineyard is situated high above the Missoula Flood Plains and only grows white grape varieties. Wonderful acidity and pure fruit characterize its grapes. The site is very cool; the caliche and basalt in these ancient soils produce some of the best and most unique wines in the state, if not the world.
All varietal, this wine is mostly Klipsun and Bacchus vineyards, with Kiona and Red Willow rounding it out. The aromas bring immediate appeal, with pure notes of black cherry, fresh and dried savory herbs and crushed granite, showing pleasing complexities. The palate is tightly wound, showing a fine sense of depth that is balanced by bright acid and firm tannins. The finish lingers. It's a compelling example of the variety.
