(222 views) | | | Tasted by drdebs on 9/1/2014 & rated 90 points: Last of the 12s and like all EK roses, it is always the best of the bunch. Integrated strawberry, mineral, and chalk notes. Rich but dry and somehow austere. (1425 views) | | | Tasted by tthorn on 4/4/2014 & rated 91 points: Killer. Strawberry, watermelon, and minerals. Just right. (1670 views) | | | Tasted by lockestep on 3/28/2014 & rated 88 points: Showing much better than upon release. Added interest in the nose, and the palate has come together nicely, no longer with a hollow note and disjointed flavors. Matched well with peppered tuna. (1512 views) | | | Tasted by drdebs on 10/29/2013 & rated 88 points: I liked this. Color was blood-orange, and the flavors were strawberryish with lots of chalky overtones. Savory finish. As ever with Eric Kent, the wines get better with a bit of time. I am still enjoying the 2011 roses (totally different experience after a year of bottle time), and wanted to open this to compare. Think this will be really hitting its stride next spring, but I enjoyed it more than the 2011 at this stage of its development so am looking forward to seeing where it is in April 2014 (1662 views) | | | Tasted by lockestep on 6/16/2013 & rated 87 points: Pleasant but a one-note wine, as opposed to the 2011 version. Somewhat lighter in body, and the roundness and pinot fruit which was so doiminant in the previous version in missing here. It is a fine choice for an evening on the deck this summer, just a bit disappointing in context. (1814 views) | | | Tasted by BigTex22 on 5/12/2013 & rated 88 points: Sweet tasting rose. Somewhat one dimensional (if roses can be anything but). Very good wine, fun for hot summer days. GOOD. (1096 views) |
| Eric Kent Wine Cellars Producer websiteRosé Blend"Rosé blend" can mean a blend of just about any varietals since the designation comes from the resulting color of the wine.Rosé Rosé - WikipediaUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
