@Delectable This is their Rosé from Cabernet. Please add.

When you arrive at AXR, they greet you with their Rosé. It’s pressed from 100% Cabernet.

The extraction is right at my preferred limit. The color here is slightly darker. The palate is round, rich with good viscosity. The fruit flavors are a little darker; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, watermelon, orange citrus, really excellent mid minerality, red & pink & rose pedals, refreshing acidity and a smartly polished finish.

We enjoyed this 2019 quite a bit.

Photos of; their tasting room at the back of the property, the table they greet you & have you sign a Covid wavier, bottom to top view of their beautiful redwood trees and the wooded areas behind the tasting room building.
