Cliff House Blush

Blush Table Wine

Cliff House Blush | Blush Table WineOur Cliff House Blush is a luscious, semi-sweet wine with a beautiful soft pink color. The wine is a blend of the Sangiovese and Riesling grapes. The temperate growing season of the Pacific Northwest produces Sangiovese grapes with a delicate aroma of strawberry and spice. The Riesling exhibits aromas of honeysuckle and pear followed by a crisp apple-like flavor accented by honey and floral notes. Together they create a well-balanced, yet soft and sweet, rose style wine.
