This Rosé may be sadly sold out, at $<15 a bottle is a steal for a high quality true Rosé. And fun to drink!
Call to check.
Impressive 12% alc.
The 2011 is a blend of 60% Syrah, 40% Grenache, picked early and pressed for Rosé.
Whatever the 'very small amount of r.s. to offset naturally high acidity' is (numbers not disclosed) its very low,
and/or balanced by acid (#s not disclosed) as I generally am sensitive to RS and not a fan.
The color is a beautiful light to medium pink, like watermelon flesh.
On the nose one gets confection/hard candy notes (very grenache like) , watermelon, and fresh strawberry.
In The Mouth; a fun but not simplistic delight. Watermelon Jolly Rancher, strawberry, white peach and some minerality.
For those pundits who say we can't make great Rosé in the US for <$20, or in this case <$15, eat your words.
I'll stack this against many $15 Provence any day. (3179 views) |
| Quady North 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.USAAmerican 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.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board) |
