Charles & Charles Rose 2020

The resulting wine this vintage has both cut and generosity, lift and energy, and we are loving it! As always, the balance between the acidity at the finish and the savory, citrus and tangy cherry are the dominant features. The vintage wasn’t quite as cool as 2019 so there’s a touch more color this year though with relatively less Syrah. It’s a bit less blue tinged pink and perhaps more coral leaning.

The aromatics lead with notes of bright citrus, wild raspberry and cherry, rose petal and lavender. All this carries through on a broad mid-palate and finally a tangy bright finish. Sourced from high elevation vineyards in Columbia Valley.
