Here's the good side of that massive, crippling freeze that destroyed so many vines in B.C. in January 2024--winemakers are allowed to buy fruit from elsewhere to make wine with, and this is allowing them to experiment with grapes they have never grown or had access to. Orofino's winemaker John Weber was thrilled to get his hands on some Washington state cinsault, and the result is this thrilling little rose. In equivalent American dollars, I only paid $15 for this little gem.

Pale pearl pink. On the palate it's stony, delicate, precise and bone dry. Outstanding.
