Foley Johnson Handmade Rosé – Rutherford

The 2025 Handmade Rosé leads with a vibrant bouquet of bright strawberry, raspberry, and pink grapefruit, accented by delicate notes of hibiscus and savory thyme. The palate begins with a lively cherry entry that transitions into a citrus-driven mid-palate, layering flavors of fresh strawberry, cranberry, and orange zest. Defined by a crisp acidity and a clean, long finish, this Rosé is a sophisticated partner for delicate seafood dishes like Dover sole or a rich lemon butter scallop risotto.
