A pale pink rose pedal meets lavender experience. A few years old produced an effervescence on the finish, which was medium acidity and light in body.

Levitating magnums, showing well, if anything a little reduced. Classics fresh rose of pink grapefruit, spring strawberry, some barely there tannin but delicious and fresh all the way around. #matthiasson

Always a favorite. Was telling some friends about @Somm_Film and thought this would be a good one to open.

The 2014 Mattaison Napa Valley Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise from the Windmill Vineyard. I love this wine because what it communicates is restraint and tensile minerality as one would find in a good Provence rosé. Delicate floral aromas, slightly underripe white peaches, and white hand soap lend dimension to a lithe frame that has a subtle and demure touch of creaminess in the background. White plum skins and pie cherries crescendo before slowly unwinding. 11.2% ABV | Sample

This wine is so clean and pure, it's like rolling around in a field of wildflowers next to an alpine lake. I mean, not really, but it is lovely, minimally manipulated fruit that just sings. Yum. #kogodwinemerchant #letstaste10roses
