Temptingly ripe and succulent blasts of strawberry, sweet watermelon, orange peel, and peach lead a delightfully plump and juicy attack effortlessly booming with gobs of thirst quenching fruit-driven refreshment. Notes of crushed gravel and stony minerality playfully contribute clean streaks of earthiness while subtle impressions of mint and wild herbs provide a pinch of exotic charm. Soft suggestions of plucked flower petals and carnations gently lift and liven aromatics while a hint of cherry tomato reveals a dash of savoriness. Beautifully bright, crisp, and dry on the palate while possessing an interesting combination of depth and drinkability; exhibiting a straightforward and unpretentious yet delicious presentation that is perfectly suited to pairing with food. Medium bodied and balanced nicely by moderate acidity. This 2021 Central Coast Rosé by Metas Altas is a fresh and fun rosé from California. 

While rosé wines are capable of possessing serious complexity and concentration on par with some of the world's greatest whites or reds, this genre is often valued most for its ability to provide effortless drinkability and refreshment. This bottling, crafted by Metas Altas using fruit sourced from around California's Central Coast, proves that simple, bright, and juicy wines can be so much fun to sip and enjoy. This playfully spills a smile-inducing range of berry, melon, citrus, and stone fruits complimented by gravely mineral notes, minty herbs, and delicate floral tones. It is drinking wonderfully today with no need for further aging, and is well suited to serving alongside a range of fresh dishes or just a warm sunny day. Very nice.
