Rosé of Tannat
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Wednesday Wine Committee and what a fantastic line-up by John! Typical format of 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind.
One of the best rosés I’ve come across...and it’s tannat! Acidity isn’t gripping (which I normally love in west coast rosés) but it wasn’t flabby either. Fleshy fruits, and a spice kick at the end which paired so well with the first and second course.

It's so easy to get frustrated with rosés that lack structure, which makes this one perfect. Great acidity, lovely structure. Big fruit flavors - strawberry, melon, raspberry.

Hugs the line between quaffer and serious wine. Crisp and juicy summer refreshment but with an extra gear. This has a bit of oomph, an extra dimension. Structure, balance, and flavor -- it's all there.

Strawberry aromas are bright and vivid. Flavors are strawberries with lemons. There is such acidity in this wine. It is light and elegant with lots of acidity and texture. My favorite Rosé so far this year!

Smells like walking on a rocky beach in Ireland. Nice salinity gives way to a faint angostura spiciness. Fucking great.
