  • Appellation: Yakima Valley
  • Rosé of Merlot Kestrel Vintners (Prosser, WA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)

The flavors are clean and fresh with overtones of strawberry, cranberry, watermelon, pomegranate, red currants, and caramelized sugar. The body is rich and perfectly balanced, with the combination of bright fruit and crisp acidity.
