Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMayhem Rosé mixes 95.5% merlot with 4.5% cabernet franc from Anarchist Mountain. Slightly darker than the new pale standard sweeping the rosé world, it opens with a touch of sulphur that sits on the crunchy red plum, red currant flecked with a savoury scrubby desert note before it finishes smooth and silky. I like the acidity and freshness, but had to decant vigorously to blow off some early stinky notes that eventually subside.Tasted: 01 May 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.13 winery online, select private retailers

Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom siblings and wine industry veterans Terry Meyer Stone (Anarchist Mountain Vineyard) and JAK Meyer (Meyer Family Vineyards), Mayhem Rosé 2020 comes from Anarchist Mountain and blends 95.5% merlot with 4.5% cabernet franc. After foot-stomping, this was fermented and aged 6 months in a mix of 67% steel and 33% neutral French barrels. Pouring a deep peach hue, this medium-bodied pink is filled with crunchy plum, red currant, and herbal desert sage along a slick, streamlined palate. Acidity is tart and lively through the lightly astringent, saline finish. Food-ready, this is primed to take on cured salmon and/or summer salads.Tasted: 03 May 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 19.13 winery online, select private retailers
