Murrieta’s Well Dry Rosé 2017 Review
This historic Livermore Valley winery’s rosé tastes a little like a Provence rosé on steroids. It has a vibrant salmon pink color, aromas of strawberries, ripe cantaloupe, and a hint of wildflowers. The wine is dry, but has a bold fruit character, and features flavors of red berries, melon, and a clean, long finish. If you gravitate towards bolder, elegant wines like Cabernet and Malbec, this is a rosé for you.
