2018 Stony Hill Rosenda de la Sombra - USA, California, Napa Valley (8/16/2020)On an oppressively humid evening, a Rosé is just the trick. This needed about thirty minutes to open up, and it was better as it warmed up just a touch. Then the dark cherry and strawberry fruit matched up with a lightly creamy mid-palate, and long finish that had just a bit of tannic grip. My last of three bottles, and the one that showed the best.

I don't know just how I'm supposed to play this scene, but I ain't afraid to learn...

This is from THAT Stony Hill? Had no idea they'd ever done a rose.

Yes it is. I had never heard of it. I was in the club for a couple of years, and this was offered as a plus up. I grabbed three. Drank the first two much too early.
