The wine

Salmon-orange with a copper tint, this rosé has a dry, crisp palate built around red fruit and citrus. Red berries are joined by tart pomegranate and blood orange, with fresh acidity giving the sip a clear, refreshing edge. The pomegranate adds a tart dimension to the berry character, while blood orange gives the citrus a more specific identity.

The aroma offers red berries with a subtle citrus note. That pairing carries into the palate, where the additional pomegranate and blood-orange flavors bring a little more detail. Acidity supports the fruit without changing the overall dry impression. The wine is straightforward in the way those elements fit together: red fruit, citrus and a crisp feel, followed by a clean close.

The finish stays dry and leaves a refreshing impression. That is the appeal of Missing Thorn’s dealcoholized Zinfandel rosé: a direct combination of red-fruit flavor and fresh acidity that follows through to the end of the sip. There is enough distinction between berry, pomegranate and blood orange to give the palate character, while the clean finish keeps the overall impression uncomplicated.
