La Línea Tempranillo Rosé

There will be much rejoicing over the 2012 vintage for many years to come, and here’s some of the first proof that red grapes lapped up this idyllic season as eagerly as whites. This is a rosé of impressive balance and stylistic restraint, achieving both refreshing delicacy and characterful, flavoursome style. Notes of savoury tomato, rosewater and fresh wild strawberries are supported by taut acidity and finely integrated texture, finishing enticingly bone dry. $19 at Dan’s.
