Bonny Doon Vin Gris de Cigare Rose 2024

$14.99
“There is a great synergy between the principal cépages in the '24 Vin Gris. Grenache in this relatively cool vintage provides the usual olfactorily suspects: wild strawberry, peach, guava and rhubarb and a very discreet scent of white pepper with Cinsault furnishing the elegant candied cherry topnote that chromatically sits atop its vitaceous conjugate. (Mourvedre, at its near homeopathic level, contributes a useful background earthy note.) We have continued the post-fermentation practice of leaving the wine on its lees to great effect; the wine has a wonderful creaminess and length on the palate in virtue of this enlightened practice." - Randall Grahm

A lovely shade of fuschia-like pink, this bottling pops on the nose with cherry, banana and chalk aromas. That ripe cherry flavor holds through the palate, where it's cut with a splash of Meyer lemon
