Rosè of the day Wednesday April 17, 2013


 
Varietals: 70% Grenache Gris and Grenache Noir; 10% Mourvèdre; 10% Carignan; 10% Cinsault.

Region:Corbières, Languedoc, France

Price: $13.99/$151.00
 
Tasting notes: A crystalline salmon colour with superb amethyst tints. Expressive and particularly tonic, the wine immediately gives off notes of raspberry, cherry and freshly picked strawberries - followed by exotic aromas such as pineapple and mango. Considerable freshness - the density and richness of the fruit mingle with the superb acid vitality giving a wine with a frisson and a magnificent persistence. Stunningly balanced, this is an extremely appetent wine!

Menu: Ideal as an aperitif with toast and crushed olives, or with wok-fried vegetables and garlic mayonnaise, grilled fish, lamb tajine, finely roasted guinea-fowl with rosemary...

Yesterdays Answer: One person answered yesterday (Jan would have answered but Laura correctly told her that she wan't allowed to play since she works for us and was available for many of the photos taken) The correct answer was given by Ouadia Gauthier when she said Tutto Pasta. We love the feel of the picture and interesting to note that Robert Sinskey Vineyards saw the picture and retweeted it yesterday.
