Aromas of watermelon, Jolly Rancher, quartz and rose hips.  Flavors of pink guava, hibiscus, and mineral.  From a mid-century planting of dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan. A severe diurnal shift supports gradual and often late ripening. The soil is red clay strewn with fist sized rocks. The combination of vine age, extended growing season, and tougher soil conspire to produce a rosé with great freshness and complexity.
