Hobo Wine Company Folk Machine Gamay Noir Rosé 2025 Review

This lively rosé of Gamay comes from the cool, windy Arroyo Seco AVA in California’s coastal Monterey County. More specifically, from the sustainably farmed Cedar Lane Vineyard — a site covered in a soil type dubbed “Greenfield Potatoes,” meaning big rocks. This leads to a lifted, aromatic rosé with notes of guava, ripe red berries, honeydew melon, and saline.
