Madroña Vineyards 2021 Rosé Hillside, Estate Bottled

The color is classic "onion skin" (not pink!), and the complex aromas of tree-ripened citrus embrace the whole spectrum from lemon and lime to grapefruit, cranberry, and strawberry.

On the palate, this wine is dry with a candy-like sweet/tart entry with flavors of lemon zest, red berry, and citrus minerality. A nice touch of toastiness comes through on the bright finish.
