Summer is here, and time for quality rose. This is another fine vintage from the usually-reliable folds at Stratus.

Salmon with strawberry red hues.

Aromas of wild strawberry, dried red berries, hint of spice and burnt wood.

Lots of fruit on the palate, but with a herbaceous tinge. The acid makes this dry wine work well with food; overly fruity it is not.
