Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
A keenly-priced label from veteran California winemaker David Ramey, the Sidebar rosé hails from old Syrah vines in the Russian River Valley. Classic notes of strawberry and watermelon introduce a crisp, energetic and chalky palate which over-delivers for the price. Malolactic fermentation blocked.
