Mendocino County Rosé Blend
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Pinot Noir, Barbera, Grenache (some Gris), and Syrah. High acidity (a bit sharp and angular, perhaps wine is acidified), with pomegranate, cranberry and cheery notes with a lovely medium pink color.

Jul 12th, 2022Nice, bright rose blend. Pink grapefruit, underripe strawberry, floral jasmine with a mineral finish. Wonderful acidity. Summer in a glass!

Surprisingly grapefruity. Different to the rosé of pinot noir. Delish.

Jun 8th, 2017i think this rosé fires on all pistons. i have a simple rubric for my "needs" from a killer rosé: 1. acid/agility 2. minerals 3. delecate fruit.
for rosé wines if low concentration, i seek out intensity within the "treble clef" aspects of the wine. i really dig a tavel, or a rosato wine out of barolo (vajra specifically) if i'm looking for more rounded, and sometimes cuisine specific rosé styles. but 9 times out of 10, i'm really looking for a wicked quick palate impression, a crisp finish and a wide range of food pairing options.
the wine also has (with this vintage) a shrunken sense of varietal character compared to the previous %100 pinot noir vintages and i'm bot the least bit mad about it. the glouglou is string with this one.
fruit impressio.mn is initially tart with a supple, gooseberry finish that accessed a personal nostalgia for me.
i think i'll drink another tomorrow.
