Blackbird Vineyards Arriviste Cabernet Sauvignon - 2010
July 21, 2011
I've enjoyed this wine across multiple vintages, and I'm officially declaring it my favorite rosé. It has that signature light and refreshing feel and taste you expect in a rosé, but it's relatively fruit forward with notes of strawberries and cherry. It has a nice balance of acidity, which for me, tends to be too much on many other rosés, and is just perfect in the Arriviste.
