This is one of the most delicious rosés I've ever tasted. Gosh, it's gorgeous. A blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Syrah from old, ungrafted high altitude vines in the Jumilla region of south eastern Spain.
Deep, rich strawberry and fresh cherry on the nose, with bare hints of sage and dry herbs. On the palate, very consistent with the nose -- dry, with both fresh and deep dried cherries and strawberries followed by a long savoury finish. There's minerality here too, hinting of mountain streams (this is always a quality that I fall in love with). Though it's very fresh, it doesn't have the fleeting quality of many fresh tasting wines. Complex and absolutely gorgeous.
If I had my wish, this is what I'd be drinking all spring. Glorious!
Edited to add: This superb wine will be at BC Liquor Stores by mid-April, and will be priced at $13.99. Bargain!!
