Enough so that Jenn would purchase a case. It was our favorite of the three wines we were tasting. It showed best after one hour of air so I would dump the bottle into a decanter or carafe. It is a touch more serious than most rosé but is still quaffable, only 11.5% ABV, and refreshing. This might be the ideal wine for the transition from summer to fall. This is all about the floral fruit and enjoyable as a result. Flavors of peach mix with white, ripe fruit, and dry roses. This wine is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Cinsault. ** Now but will last.Ģ017 Puech-Haut, Prestige Rosé, Languedoc-Roussillon – $18 There is some ethereal ripeness that pops up in the end but this is a dry wine throughout with a bit of tang. Dried florals with dried red fruit persist in this acidity driven wine. A medium-dark, dried rose and salmon color. You may find them at MacArthur Beverages.Ģ017 Reichstrat von Buhl, Spatburgunder Rose Trocken Pfalz – $18 I like a bit of fruit in my rosé, which this bottle delivers, without leaving freshness behind. I find the 2017 Puech-Haut, Prestige Rosé, Languedoc-Roussillon more satisfying with its mixture of peach and florals. The profile is all about dried florals with a clean finish. The 2017 Reichstrat von Buhl, Spatburgunder Rose Trocken Pfalz will cater towards those who prefer dry rosé with a kick of acidity. With warm, sunny weather returning to the Washington, DC, area, here are two bottles of rosé you might consider. With air notes of salinity, cinnamon, and even more minerals develop. A polished wine with supportive acidity, it comes across with understated density. In the mouth this is mineral with a touch of earth before flavors of fruit, leaning towards black, come out. This wine is a blend of mostly Syrah with some Grenache and old-vine Carignan. I almost regret posting about it as I do not know what can replace it at this price.Ģ012 Chateau Coupe-Roses, Orience, Minervois – $17 It is a fantastic combination that will peak within the next year or two. The Minervois strength comes through but this wine is primarily about dark fruit coupled with earth, minerals, and a touch of baking spice. This is the top cuvee of Chateau Coupe-Roses and being of the 2012 vintage, it is benefiting from maturity. For the past two months I have gone back, again and again, to buy more of the 2012 Chateau Coupe-Roses, Orience, Minervois.
