2022 Martin Estate Rosé
The 2022 Martin Estate Rosé is a wine of understated sophistication, natural Napa Valley elegance, and the kind of estate-grown rosé character that reveals the depth and quality of a property whose Cabernet Sauvignon is among the most celebrated in the valley. The Martin Estate, farmed with exceptional care and commitment to expressing the unique qualities of its Napa Valley terroir, produces a rosé that carries the same sense of place and purposeful winemaking as its iconic reds — a pink wine of real substance and estate integrity rather than mere seasonal refreshment. The 2022 vintage, beautifully balanced and generous across Napa Valley, gave the Martin Estate Rosé fruit of outstanding natural precision and aromatic completeness. In the glass: a delicate, pale salmon hue leads to aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, ripe watermelon, hibiscus, and a clean stony mineral note of lovely clarity, while the palate is dry, medium-bodied, and elegantly structured with excellent natural acidity and a long, clean, mineral-tinged finish of genuine estate character and distinction.
