2022 Ehlers Estate Rosé “Sylvianne” St Helena Napa Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points
Bordeaux grape based Rosés are rarely successful in California, but this one is a triumph. The aromas are a lovely, zesty mélange of white cherry, watermelon, grenadine, pink rose and white pepper scents above a chalky undercurrent. On the palate it is full flavored yet lean in texture, as a bit of tannic grip and some mineral underpinnings brace richer notes of watermelon, white cherry, grenadine and red raspberry. These flavors linger beautifully and seem to grow in depth as the wine airs. It is a tasty sipper now, yet it’s built for food-service which will be even more obvious in another year or so. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Merlot. 540 cases made.
