Another quick note. A rose made from 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet. Interestingly, 10% of the wine gets to ferment in wood and a bit of lees action. It’s a quality rose, in the more traditional rose style (as opposed to the style that is more white wine like).
Notes of raspberry and strawberry dominate the nose, there is a little peach in there as well. Fresh and fairly straight forward in the mouth, good acidity and the slightest shot of tannins on the finish. Raspberry and cherry come out on the palate, a bit of spice and earth for complexity. Long finish with tangy fruit and a touch of minerals. Nice stuff. 88 Pts.

You mean almost a clairet? I thought it a bit too fruity, lacking character and mineral texture.
i think this one its quite dry… then its relative to what you compare it with…
Larry, Sorry I missed your comment. Almost like clariet. If you look at something like Muga or Cillar de Silos rosados they drink like a white wine than a traditional rose style. BTW how was your trip?
Marcelo, yep very dry. I’m not a fan of sweet rose….
Crossing the border, those Bandol Roses made from Mourvedre are my current favourite I guess.
The trip was fantastic. I really love Andalucia. That reminds me, must to head off to Mohr Fish with a 1/2 of manzanilla for some Oysters…
