Wine Review: This clear and dark coral colored Rosé from Olema opens with a nectarine and wet stone bouquet with hints of red apple and green tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is mild balanced, round, a little mouthwatering, and approachable. The flavor profile is a green tea and chalky minerality blend with notes of nectarine pit. I also detected hints of lemon verbena and a touch of walnut. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drifts away nicely. I would enjoy this Rosé at the beach served slightly chilled. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: All grapes went direct to press with minimal skin contact leading to the pale copper-salmon color and smooth, viscous texture. The must was fermented cold, preserving the freshness of floral aromatics, and matured in stainless steel, giving vibrant fruit intensity and a long, crisp finish.
