david lawrason: 2023 lastellina

This is a very lively yet serious rose based on merlot and cabernet franc. All kinds of aromatic lift here with red currant, rhubarb, sour cherry and classic BC sage and herbals. It is medium weight, spry quite bitter and edgy, with excellent length. Quite pithy and grapefruit-driven on the finish. A rose for the Mediterranean table. Value Rating: 5/5
