Most
wines greet you on the palate with one or two main tasting components
that are constant throughout the finish of the wine. Great wines
possess both a clear cut focus, and a memorable transition of flavors
that leaves your head racing. To say that this wine was great, would
almost be an insult. This rosé is aesthetically pleasing, displaying
a delightful salmon color with thick, clear edges. One of those wines
that you don't want to drink; you just want to admire the pink. As I
swirled the glass, explosions of ruby red grapefruit, strawberry
cream, freshly picked cherries, and a subtle forest floor component
attacked my nose in an aggressive but enjoyable manner. Initially,
this wine packages muted cherries and pleasant watermelon rinds with
a bright pink lemonade and lime spritz that hits at the tip of the
tongue like a needle. The cherries almost ripen in your mouth as this
wine moves into the mid-palate while an integrated pine and green
leaf characteristic provides structure. All of the fruit components
come to an exciting crescendo in the finish in an exclamatory grand
finale, while sexy acidity and tantalizingly light tannins tickle
your lips.
