A lovely and complex pink, with aromas of rose petal, smoky raspberry and crisp, layered strawberry and mineral flavors that linger nicely. Syrah and Grenache.

Dick Peterson's 2012 Brut Rosé is fabulous. Creamy and silky on the palate, the 2012 impresses for its textural elegance and overall feel. The flavors are bright, focused and sculpted throughout, with striking inner sweetness and finesse to play off the pliant, generous fruit. The 2012 spent four years on its lees, which is a bit less than the first releases. The shorter aging is probably a benefit, as the 2012 has tremendous fruit presence and even more finesse than the early editions.
