2022 Arriviste RoséNapa Valley
Beautiful blush coral in color, the 2022 Arriviste greets you with a lingering aroma of strawberry, tart cherry, and fresh blueberries with just a touch of under ripe banana. An attack of flavors is dominated by strawberry with just a hint of lactic feel on the tongue leading to the bright acidity we blend for. A perfectly balanced mid-palate teeming with delightful citrus acidity; bright not bitter lemon & naval orange peels hold strong through to the finish.
Inspired by “les gitanes,” the gypsies of St. Emilion, Blackbird Vineyards’ Arriviste captures the high-spirited nature of winemaking. This vibrant, puckish rosé conjures images of summer twilights and harvest moons. While it hints at the flavors of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that frame it, Arriviste is not a wine to demystify. It is simply a wine to enjoy.
