Arcadia Vineyards roze 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
540 TL I love rosé. It’s in my DNA as a Frenchman. I love rosé wines which are mineral or fruity but not bold. I love them pale, not reddish. After more than 30 years of drinking rosé, I can say that the colour counts. I love the Provence style or Bandol or even Sancerre…
