Yes, indeed, Lot 48 2025 Oak Knoll District Rosé is in the bottle and ready-to-ship! Bottled on January 16th, it's emerging nicely now from bottle shock and will be drinking great by the time it hits your doorstep! What's the story you ask? Well, I don't too much about this wine other than it's absolutely gorgeous Rose, a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre grown in Oak Knoll estate vineyards and produced by a very talented (and pedigreed) winemaker. I see other Rosé from this producer available in the circa $25-$30 range, but what they were doing with this particular blend, I don't know. We were only able to get out hands on a couple hundred gallons unfortunately, I would have purchased twenty times as much if I could have. I guess you'll just have to trust me, again. But, I promise, this is an absolutely delicious Rosé! Lovely light pink with just a kiss of lavender hue (the bottle shot doesn't do it justice). The bouquet is ripe and succulent offering up a jubilee of peach and pretty strawberry notes lifted on rose petals and underpinned with watermelon candy. With a little air, the bouquet complexes with pillows of whispery cotton candy, powdery pink rose petal and a hint of grapefruit. The fantastic bouquet is worth the price of entry alone. But the palate is equally compelling, juicy and succulent with raspberry and watermelon candy notes exquisitely balanced against schisty, diamond-crusted acidity that unfurls resounding waves of cherry candy and pretty peach notes in a long, mouthwatering finish. Bone dry, this deftly-made and lovely rosé perfectly balances ripe fruit and elegant structure. 100% Oak Knoll District estate vineyard65% Grenache, 35% Mouvedré13.8% alc., 3.28 pH, 5.57 g/L TA, .9 g/L Malic130 cases produced
