Rosé 2025, Creekside Estate Winery

Rosé, but make it Creekside. This isn’t your shy, barely-there pink. The 2025 vintage shows up with actual personality—thanks to a blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Gamay, and just enough Viognier to keep things interesting. It’s a bit of a mashup, but in the way that somehow always works out. On the nose, expect a full-on summer situation: red cherry, elderflower, watermelon, and ripe peach. The palate follows through with juicy strawberry and watermelon, finishing with a soft hit of apricot. It’s bright, balanced, and just structured enough to remind you this isn’t juice—it just drinks like it on a good day.
