Framingham F-Series Marlborough Montepulciano Rosé 2018 $34.99 

It’s great to see rosé from Marlborough being constructed from a variety other than pinot noir, and if anyone’s going to get the best from southern-grown montepulciano, then it’s the folk from Framingham.  Perfumed with strawberry, creaming soda, and a hint of peppercorn, it has fleshy, plush textures in the mid-palate and good freshness on the finish.
