Melis Family 2020 Rose of Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills

This wine is not an afterthought, but a serious contender.  The 2020 Melis Family Rose of Pinot Noir (a blend of 2 great Santa Rita Hills vineyards) offers up ample and layered fruit on both nose and palate.  On the nose, you’ll encounter crushed flowers, cranberry, and bright red cherry notes which continue on the pleasant palate laced with a touch of bright acidity.  The wine is nicely polished and finishing gorgeously (my winemaker, Paul Lato would not have it any other way).

A crowd-pleasing limited production rose!!
