Absolution Cellars Rosé of Sangiovese
2023, Chalone AVA, Monterey County, USA
Profile & Story
Farmed with great care and over 40 years of experience by Michael Michaud in the legendary Chalone AVA of Monterey County. There’s only ¾ of an acre planted to Sangiovese at Chalone, and I use all the fruit to make this lovely direct-to-press Rosé.
Tasting Notes
Beautiful clear pale salmon color; apple and peach aromas, with a hint of petrol; flavors of sweet strawberry and rhubarb, with a nice minerality and crisp mouthwatering acidity; plus a crisp tart and spicy finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Drinks beautifully chilled on a hot summer day as well as with a wide variety of food from Morro Bay’s fresh catches, charcuterie, sushi, duck, and Thanksgiving and Holiday Dinners.
