2021 Jaine Thunderstone Rosé
"This pale-copper, highly expressive rosé begins with a powerful red berry and floral nose, in addition to honeydew melon, nectarine, chalky minerals, and sea salt aromas. Swirling brings cotton candy, raspberry purée, white flowers, and stone fruit. The wine is vibrant and precise on the palate, offering great depth and energy and without losing its beautiful, silky texture. A great combination of fruitfulness and minerality, this is a fruit-driven rosé, that you can drink now or in the next 3 years." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor
Praise:
"A very vibrant pink in the glass, the 2021 Jaine 'Thunderstone Vineyard' Rosé is drinking beautifully now. 100% Grenache, this delivers a dazzling array of aromatics from wet stone and papaya to green melon, and strawberry tones that all meld in the glass. The palate is elegant and refined with a soft mouthfeel. Be sure to enjoy at a slightly warmer temperature. Drink 2022-2027." -92 points, Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com
