What can I say, I sure hope Ridge makes this rose wine an annual event: their first ever rose and it is spectacular! Had this with shrimp and andouille sausage jambalaya. I would order more if Ridge didn't have a 6 bottle per customer limit.

2020 Stinson Vineyards Meritage Blanc Monticello Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Medium yellow color. Gorgeous aromas of pineapple and lemon, with this refreshing, briny, chalky tones, balanced with honey and raw almond. The palate has a rich, creamy texture with vibrant acidity and lovely balance. The lemon, yellow apple, honeydew fruit, it’s all so fresh and focused, and the hay, honey, chamomile and peanut shell notes add a lot of complexity. This has such a level of verve, balance and focus – a really special Virginia white wine. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, aged 16 months in 15% new French oak. This should age nicely, too, and would be a great ringer in a Bordeaux Blanc tasting or a “Wow”-inducing wine for Virginia newbs.

But it wanted to make a Meritage of some sort, so purchased all of the white grapes to make this wine. When this is gone, it's gone, I was told. (The only thing about it that I won't miss is the label.)
