The palate adds graphite-like

Then changes to Japanese ginger and lemon peel

Talk about an estate that is on top of its game

Long and complex

This old-vine rouge comes from what will one day be deemed a premier cru parcel

Martin Woods Rose, Willamette Valley, USA 2019 Lafite The palate adds graphite-likeThis blended ros is composed of 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Gamay Noir, 30% Gewrztraminer and 10% Riesling. Despite the aromatic white grapes, it's the Pinot and Gamay that dominate, with big bodied flavors of strawberries and cherries, apples and citrus. It's more substantial than all Pinot ross, yet less refined, with a chunky mouthfeel.
