Deep golden yellow. Lovely blend of 80% Chardonnay, 12% Roussanne and 8% Marsanne. Warm nose with straw, apples, Meyer lemon and white flowers. Medium to full body with well balanced acidity. Rich palate showing the malolactic. Flavors of white pears, baked apples and very creamy. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2037. — 2 years ago

WNH rosé night.

FÆTHM’s Steel Trap rosé of Grenache. One barrel production. According to the release today, there won’t be a rosé this year.

Deep orange with pink hues in the glass. Aromatically, it’s fairly intense as it sports blood orange, grilled rhubarb, citrus spray and sea salt. This is a Rosé that works best at a certain temp...when too cold, the acidity was ripping and the fruit was muted, but when too warm, it lost structure and heat was noticeable. Spiced red fruits, white pepper, and orange blossom on the palate. This reminds me of a heavier version of Cayuse’s Edith rosé. — 6 years ago

This is so good. Interestingly enough, the server came over after opening and said it was flawed - did I want to try it and see? Uh yeah. It was fine/great. Does it have a powerful nose. Yeah. But flawed. No. No way. — 4 months ago

That’s weird. Did the server tell you what they thought (incorrectly) was wrong with it ?

@Tom Casagrande so weird. I had just had the same wine a couple weeks back so I just said - hmm, yeah let me try it. I’m not sure why one would say that, given it’s a bottle I brought. I have had a server say with some browning on the rim - “looks like it’s on the edge, what do you think?” Not sure I get, opening it off to the side, coming back saying it’s flawed and then asking me what I want to do… Of course one is going to want to see and try it. If it’s the restaurants bottle, sure test and get a new one if you think it’s flawed before presenting. On my bottle? Don’t you have to present it…. Big nose? Huge. Possible they have never had Grenache?
