Redolent Waving Tree Vineyard Rosé of Nebbiolo · Columbia Valley, Washington · 2024

The Moment

This is the bottle that gets opened before anyone agrees on what dinner is.

Someone’s slicing peaches. Someone else is arguing for the grill. The table is half-set, the music is already on, and suddenly there’s a glass in your hand that smells like citrus blossoms, melon, and something a little wild.

That’s the magic of the 2024 Redolent Waving Tree Vineyard Rosé of Nebbiolo.

Bright, lifted, and quietly textured, it drinks like the kind of rosé made for people who want a little more than “just something pink.”

What It Feels Like

Nebbiolo isn’t the grape most people expect in rosé — which is exactly why this bottle is so compelling.

Redolent sources this from Waving Tree Vineyard near Maryhill, Washington, and the result is a rosé with both freshness and shape: ripe melon, citrus blossom, orange, chamomile, guava, blood orange, honeyed peach, and a delicate herbal edge. The winery describes it as lively and fresh with bright acidity and smooth texture, and notes it’s “dangerously drinkable.”

A retailer also notes the wine saw partial malolactic fermentation, which adds a little extra mouthfeel and length — a nice clue as to why this rosé feels more layered than the average patio pour.

This is the kind of rosé that starts casual… and ends with everyone asking what the bottle was.

Why We Love This Bottle

Rosé for Wine People
Nebbiolo gives this bottle more shape and intrigue than the average easy-sipping rosé.

Single-Vineyard Character
Waving Tree fruit brings a sense of place and structure that makes this feel intentional, not generic.

Textured but Still Summer-Ready
The partial malo and natural Nebbiolo tension make this a rosé that works beyond poolside.

This is the bottle for when you want rosé that feels a little more serious — without losing the fun.

Pair It With

• Grilled shrimp or salmon
• Caprese salad
• Prosciutto + melon
• Peach burrata salad
• BBQ chicken or veggie skewers

Redolent explicitly says they love it with anything off the BBQ, but it’s also beautifully compelling all on its own.
