2017 Esclans - Garrus Rose

Light, glistening orange. An exotically perfumed, highly expressive bouquet evokes ripe red berries, peach nectar, vanilla and candied flowers, and a smoky mineral quality builds in the glass. Sappy, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering intense raspberry, nectarine, fig and blood orange flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Clings impressively on the pit-fruit-driven finish, leaving toasty lees, vanilla and floral notes behind. This extremely impressive wine was fermented and aged for 10 months in new and used demi-muids .
