Idlewild Wines - The Flower Flora & Fauna Rosé 2021

Aromatically, there is a lot of quiet grace in this wine. That isn’t to say it isn’t full of complexity; rather, there is just a subtlety to the grapefruit pith, tarragon, pomelo, chervil, minerality, alpine wildflowers, salty ocean air, and slight notes of fresh pine needles. The three varieties can all be seen in the structure: Nebbiolo lends the crunchy mineral structure, Dolcetto lends a delicate softness, and Barbera lends screeching acidity.
