2019 MALENE ROSE, CENTRAL COAST CALIFORNIA

This wine is a very pale rose-gold color with brilliant clarity. The wine opens with classic aromas of watermelon rind and wild strawberry, and the first sip holds hints of exotic tropical fruits. The Mourvedre imparts a flinty minerality that adds complexity and elegance. The palate strikes a fine line between opulence and elegance and the watermelon aromas on the nose persists through to the palate, balanced by notes of stone fruit, wild herbs, salinity and bright, crisp acidity.
