2024 Martin Woods "Eola Springs Vineyard" Willamette Valley Rosé of Cabernet Franc

Very pretty and elegantly fruited nose, there's some tart raspberry, strawberry, and a little touch of guava and pineapple. Along with the fruit, there's a little bit of chalky powder mixing with river rocks, rounding it all out. The palate is more intense but just as compelling, the fruit is sweet and pretty, the nose fruits accompanied by a little bit of zingy cranberry-orange zest and watermelon candy. There's a pop at the front of the palate from the dissolved CO2 that gives it the lightest little spritz, elevating the whole thing. After the spritz, its got a really luscious acidity and just a little bit of tannin texture in the far background. This is a beautiful bottle of rose that is more of a have with dinner or some passed appetizers, but you know what if you want this could also be your next pool wine or porch pounder, it's got so much going on but you can drink it however you like.
