Rootdown 'Es Okay' Rosé, Mendocino County NV (750 ml)

Made from Merlot, Trousseau and Pinot Blanc done in a natural, or “natty” kind of style, meaning it is both fruity and a little funky at the same time.

Tasting Notes
Something a little meaty in the aromas, along with some ripe berry fruit and herbal notes. Lighter on the palate than the color might suggest and the finish has an easy suppleness to it.

Nowhere do the rules say that wine made from serious fruit has to be taken seriously. Wine is just fermented juice, after all! We believe drinking should be pleasurable — whether one is shamelessly crushing rosé at a baby shower, or undermining a co-worker’s supposedly fancier bottle selection at the seasonal office party, by showing up with a juicy red that actually begs to be consumed (with that mediocre sushi platter). You could consider the finer points — that this wine includes grapes from some of California’s best vineyards (ahem, such as Cole Ranch) or that the wine is minimally sulfured and maximally fresh from the grapes’ naturally high acidity.

The bottom line is that you don’t need to overthink tasty. You have our permission to crush this wine. Go ahead, es okay!
