Idlewild The Flower Rose Mendocino 2021

This vintage of the rosé is true the last few vintages: all the bright and fresh sides of rosé we love with a pronounced structure to pair with food. There is a play between savory versus fresh and subtlety versus power that make this wine very intriguing.

The aromas are wound up around orange peel, grapefruit, alpine herbs, blood orange, wildflowers, and sea spray. The four varieties can all be seen in the structure: Nebbiolo and Girgnolino lend the crunchy minerality, Dolcetto lends a delicate softness, and Barbera lends bright acidity.
