2024 William Lane Rosé  California

SF Wine Panel Score 92 Points

Bright, focused and surprisingly complex, the nose of this crisp and engaging Rosé offers scents of panetone cherries, bottled red maraschino cherry and almonds in the shell, above background suggestions of grenadine and pink peppercorn. It is supple yet attractively vibrant and intriguingly tense on the palate, where flavors of blood orange zest, cinnamon red hots, almond and grenadine join in to create attractive harmony and a notably food-worthy balance. These flavors are freshened by vivid zest and firmed by mineral undertones. A delicious summer sipper, it will be appropriate with a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. A blend of Nero d’Avola and Assyrtiko, along with hints of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Carignane. 20 cases produced.
