Asuncion Ridge 2016 Rosé (San Luis Obispo County)

Country: US /
Variety: Rosé California
Winery: Asuncion Ridge / San Luis Obispo County

A darker shade of blood orange in the glass, this bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon shows cranberry and orange on the nose. It’s quite flat on the sip, with sour orange, strawberry and plum notes, and that makes it seem more like an afterthought than a focused rosé, which is such a competitive category now.
