Zaca Mesa 2013 Z Gris Estate Grown and Bottled Dry Rosé (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Z Gris Estate Grown and Bottled Dry
Variety: Rosé California
Winery: Zaca Mesa / Santa Ynez Valley

As can happen with young wines like just-released rosé, a slight bit of effervescence is visible. The interesting smell of fermentation gives rise to strawberry and pink bubblegum scents. The gum persists on the palate, but in a pleasant, not overwhelming or sweet way, as does red licorice and watermelon.
