2024 Girasole Rose shines with 95 points in the largest blind tasting of American true Rosés
2024 Girasole Vineyards Rosé, Mendocino County, CA: Retail $20.
Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir. Very light pink in the glass with an extremely shy nose initially, but as it warmed slightly, great red fruit (strawberry and cherry) emerged with a lovely floral aspect. Subtle on the palate as well, but, again, as it warmed ever-so-slightly the fruit emerged to balance out the lovely tartness. This is fantastic. Balanced, tart, and delicious. I would buy this in a heartbeat. Outstanding. 95 Points.
