About Smiths Lane King Valley Rose
This King Valley rosé from Smiths Lane opens with a delicate, pale salmon hue that hints at its refined character. On the aroma, fresh strawberry and watermelon mingle with crushed rose petals and a whisper of white peach, giving the wine an inviting, floral lift. The palate is crisp and lively, delivering juicy red cherry and raspberry notes framed by bright natural acidity. A subtle minerality runs through the mid-palate, adding texture and complexity beyond its approachable style. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a gentle lingering of citrus zest and dried herbs that speaks to the cool-climate origins of the King Valley.
