This was perfect on a hot spring evening on the deck with an assortment of pre dinner snacks. Not as clean and nuanced at the Tempier Greenblanket enjoyed the night before but at a fraction of the price it's very nice and perfectly good as a late inning defensive adjustment or the second game of a double header. There were the expected red fruit and watermelon flavors and aromas and a nice full palate but the stony minerality and acidity were in good but not perfect balance. Excellent and Greenblanket plans to restock with the 2007.

Flavors of strawberries, chalk and stonefruit skin, with a rich, oily mouthfeel. Round, with lower acidity than expected. Almost mouthfilling, with an impressively full midpalate. Has the weight and richness of a Lopez de Heredia rosé without the oxidized flavors. Very impressive, but will likely require a different role at table than other dry rosés, which are likely to have more freshness and acidity.

Yes, no doubt state of the art when it comes to Rosé. It is dry, fruity, extremely tastful with elegance and character.

Watermelon crushed with strawberries. Tangy acid backing that up. Very nice with burgers and chicken sausage.
