“Lip Smacking” 2018 Prelude Rosé Reviewed by Washington Wine Blog

Dr. Owen Bargreen of Washington Wine Blog and International Wine Report was among the first to receive a sample bottle of our 2018 Prelude Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir, and we’re pretty sure he liked it. Not only did he score it a 90, he tweeted out the photo above, entitled “Rooftop Goals.”

Here’s what he had to say:

2018 Bells Up ‘Prelude’ Rose The 2018 ‘Prelude’ Rose shows off a deep hue, unveiling bright red cherry, guava and orange zest aromas that build in the glass. The palate shows a refreshing edge with lip-smacking acidity that connects with the delicious red fruit and blood orange flavors. Complex and delicious now, enjoy this over the next five plus years. Drink 2019-2024- 90
