Tasting Notes: The 2023 JUSTIN Rosé is a dry, aromatic, refreshing wine that reminds us that while Rosé is great on a hot summer day, it is also a versatile wine worth reaching for all year long. A Rosé of mostly Syrah that is whole-cluster-pressed and fermented like a white wine, it shows a beautiful salmon color in the glass with bright red fruit, crisp apple, and subtle herbal notes. Whole-cluster-pressed and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation.

It’s a perfect match for a wide variety of pairings or just on its own. This is a wine that is meant to be enjoyed at the table, poolside, beachside, or outside, but especially with someone by your side!

Appearance: Bright with a deep ruby core lightening to ruby garnet at the rim, with light staining on slow-forming, persistent tears.

Aroma: Very aromatic with ripe red apple and notes of green apple and pear, with violet and white flower notes, dried herbs, and an attractive, slightly peppery note.

Palate: Medium-bodied and dry with a very attractive mix of ripe red and green apple, red berry fruit, and melon on entry and subtle chamomile and floral notes appearing on the midpalate. The clean finish features fresh fruit, floral/herbal notes, and a mineral texture.

Varietal Composition: Mostly Syrah
