  7/21/2017 - Martin Redmond Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Pale salmon color with strawberry, watermelon, raspberry and wild fennel aromas. On the palate, it's dry and leans toward light-bodied with vibrant acidity and very appealing wild strawberry, watermelon, tart raspberry, wet stone and a hint of spice flavors with just a whisper of tannins that add to its harmonious character. It has a delicate lingering finish that suggest a very appealing savoriness for me. 100% Malbec from from the Antica Vineyard in the heart of the Atlas Peak appellation. Handpicked grapes were whole-cluster pressed specifically for the Rosé. This minimized color and tannin extraction. The juice then fermented to dryness in a refrigerated stainless steel tank to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to preserve freshness and vibrancy. 12.5% abv
