Mission Codename Incroyable!
Today’s wine is fantastic and, if you love great rosé, we offer it to you with our boldest recommendation!
On the palate, this wine presents the lively flavor young strawberry at the edges of the tongue. As the wine settles on to the tongue, it begins to spread additional flavors inward. These include flavors of white peach, citrus, rose petal and more. This spread of new flavors is intriguing and it leads to a finish that is exceedingly long for a rosé.
Overall, the wine is delicate, delicious and simply sublime. On the finish, flavors cling to the tongue with an almost velvety coating. We really love this wine and we will be stocking our own summertime cellars with at least a case.
