Bouquet:
This rosé instantly put a smile on my face! With ripe fruit aromas of apricots, rainier cherries, and red plums, along with mineral notes of fresh rain, this wine is the true epitome of summer in a glass!
Palate:
Sourced from Tempranillo grown in the Garnier Vineyard, which is located in the tiny town of Mosier, Oregon, the grapevines have a front seat view of the Columbia River. That river influence, paired with Jay Somers’ expert winemaking skills, produced a rosé with a weighty, full mouthfeel. Flavors of apricots and peaches were balanced with a tart, mouthwatering finish filled with cherries and lemon zest. Quite textured and layered, this rosé would please anyone that prefers to drink solely red wine.
Food pairing suggestions:
Walnut rosemary-crusted salmon, pea shoots pasta with lemon ricotta, spicy sesame noodles with ginger chicken.
