2010 Carol Shelton "Rendezvous Rosé" Mendocino County Rosé
One 750ml bottle
A rendezvous with friends is all the more delicious a pleasure over a bottle of luscious chilled dry Rosé, hence the name “Rendezvous Rosé.” Created by bleeding a bit of “pink” juice off of Carignan grapes within days of crushing them, it is fermented cold like a white wine to retain every luscious drop of crisp strawberry fruitiness.
It is refreshingly crisp and dry with light cranberry color, juicy strawberry-watermelon fruit aromas, nice mineral, and a hint of pink grapefruit.
