Tasting Profile
| Look: | A beautiful shade of bright ruby shines through the glass. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Juicy white peach, apricot, and a touch of dried blueberry are joined by dried rose petals, subtle brown spice, and a pleasant perfumy note of fresh violet blossom. |
| Taste: | Fresh and crisp flavors greet you upon the first sip, with fresh black cherry, wild strawberry, and a touch of cranberry mingling with fresh cedar wood, dried flower petals, and lightly steeped herbal black tea. |
| Finish: | A pleasant, subtle complexity in this wine speaks to the quality of the Syrah grapes. Fresh notes of wild strawberry slowly fade until touches of cranberry remain on the tip of the tongue. |
| Pairing: | Thai yellow pumpkin and chicken curry. |

About the Winery
We’d like to introduce you to Pink Girl. Pink Girl is a California rosé unique and pink - one that celebrates the true beauty of a rosé, pink, vibrant and feminine. Each label is hand-applied with a real Austrian crystal - this wine utters “pink” with every sip.
While Napa Valley is known for its seductive red wines, the Syrah grape puts forth a lovely red and white fruit character, balanced in this pink wine that is pressed for a rosé. White cranberry, icy pomegranate and a pop of cotton candy hit the palate. This is not Lucy’s white zinfandel - it is a dry, crisp, lighter style of wine, meant to enjoy with spicy Indian foods, a summer crab salad or as a stand alone at your next girls’ night out!
