Ochota Barrels ‘Texture Like Sun’ (2022)

In 2022, with fewer white varieties in the blend, this wine leans more fresh red than deep rosé. It has sour cherry, pomegranate, and white pepper aromas on the nose. The palate is supple and juicy, as if the juice that pools at the bottom of a raspberry-picking basket were blended here. Acidity commands your attention on the mid palate, and there is a bite of bitterness on the finish. Drink chilled.
