Paso Robles Rosé Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
One of the best rosés I’ve had in quite some time. 66% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre. Bigger style with lots of complexity and depth to it. It’s as though someone took two of my favorite rosés, Arnyca (lighter style) and Antica Terra (super heavy style) and combined them. In the glass it has an absolutely gorgeous deep ruby color. Aromatically, it has spicy red fruits like rhubarb with watermelon, peppercorn and sea salt. It tastes remarkably like a gummy version of rhubarb, showing more spice at the finish. Not made in the crushable style, this deserves and commands some thought (and food)! My thanks to @Bill Bender for the wine and introducing me to the potential of this producer.

A personal kitchen intermission during a quadruple feature of Napa Cab, Bordeaux and Rhône last Saturday in Iowa. Welcome re-set and not showing as big as when I had it on my San Diego deck. Fun, hearty unique stuff from Iowa’s own @Connor McMahon

May 19th, 2019While I’m a sucker for rose’ I rarely rate them this high. This is a different animal. I’d say it’s more of a “with food” rose’ than a “lounging by the pool” rose’. Ample weight and a full mouthfeel, strawberry/rhubarb pie filling, bold and savory with a dollop of all-spice. I enjoyed this immensely and it made great strides as it warmed up. I’d serve at 65+ degrees. Shout out to @Connor McMahon and @Rebecca McMahon for loving what they do and making it show in our glass. Cheers.

Nicely layered with strawberry, watermelon jolly rancher, cool ocean breeze, raspberry, fresh tulips, salted melon, some pink peppercorn, prosciutto di parma. Walks a very fine tightrope between plush/juicy and savory/mineral. Great mouthfeel. Excellent work @Connor McMahon

66 percent Grenache the rest Mourvèdre damn I wanna do a Tavel v Paso Robles rosé comparison. This is good. Floral and coral and super ripe citrus-y (ruby grapefruit) stony fun. It is not my number one Paso rosé but very grateful to @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum for pointing me to this. Very valid I should taste more of their offerings.

Kacey on vinyl and Becca’s Rose. Equivalent 10s. Grenache proving more structure and depth than the usual rose. Freshly picked red stone fruits and strawberries
