The palate adds graphite-like

Brewed to be enjoyed for special occasions

but the Cycladic Assyrtiko grape shows beautiful roundness and balance here

with a zesty layer of pink grapefruit peel

Talk about an estate that is on top of its game

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.
