TERRE ROUGE ROSÉ "VIN GRIS D'AMADOR", SIERRA FOOTHILLS 2016

NVWE Notes: This is a lovely and focused Rosé with an outstandingly food-worthy balance. It fans-out a rich nose of bottled red cherry, dried raspberry, grenadine, “Jolly Rancher” watermelon candy, celery, habanero “hot salt”, white pepper and wet sand. It proves sleek and racy in the mouth and full of focused flavors, with white cherry sorbet, nectarine, dried raspberry, watermelon, pink grapefruit, white and pink peppercorn, mineral salts and brioche lingering in food-friendly harmony. A blend of 46% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, 7% Roussanne and 7% Grenache Blanc. 360 cases produced.

Pretty and pink, this light-bodied but nervy wine brims with white raspberry and pomegranate flavors and a texture that is crisp and mouth-cleansing. The balance between fruitiness and acidity is precise and appetizing, so it pays off sip after sip. It was made from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc.
