Philip Lobley 2024 Yea Valley Rose 'Temptation'

"100% Cabernet Sauvignon

This charming 2024 Rose from Phil Lobley bursts from the glass with sweet orange blossom, hints of strawberry, and tangello candies. There are savoury elements at play here with crushed herbs and a faint line of mineral. What makes this wine so alluring, beyond the frankly absurd price point, is it utterly seductive texture. I can think of very few wines around this price with such a silken mouthfeel and cheeky structure, that brings everything to a refreshing and morish close. An utter delight, just like the man himself." — David
