Lean and bright. Light and mineral with real precision. Quite austere. Should age really well — 5 months ago

Bright Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruits and floral notes, from 50-year old vines planted over granite, undergo long maceration period. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice, licorice and perfumed floral notes. Fine chewy tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight earthy character. — 8 months ago

Bright canary gold. Petrol nose. Notes of minerals, slate stone, citrus and a little sulfur. Great acidity with young primary fruit. Chewy. Long finish. Evolving at a glacial pace. You have to like the petrol nose thing to like this wine. — 4 years ago

Starts with a touch of funk. And rolls into very peppery charred cherry. Still bright and sharp. Would love to see what happens in 5 years but we couldn't resist our only two bottles. — 5 years ago

Bright, tart, with subtle grassy herbs. Getting some pineapple and lemon peel with a zippy, short finish. Also picked up a hint of lavender. Really lovely for the price! — 5 months ago

First course. Vegetable soup that has a chicken broth/red wine/port base.

Also, working with 2nd course, pumpkin spaetzle with squash, brown butter, parmesan, sage & crispy brussels sprouts.

Beautiful poached strawberries & cherries with fresh & slightly candied, bright dark & red florals.

Great soup & spaetzle from our friend Chef Hedy! Find her @plateandbottle

This is absolutely one of the best Rosés for the money. With good Rosés now hovering around $40, this producer is one of the top producers in Basque Country. While others have dramatically increased their Rosés prices, Ameztoi has inched their prices year to year.

Rosés have gotten so popular and their prices have skyrocketed relatively high in the last five years. So much so, I just read an article about fake Roses being produced in and exported out of France.

I selected this Rosé for Hedy’s Strawberry Gazpacho, Tarragon, Basil, Olive Oil. It married the bright fruits nicely, strawberry. The Rosé has just a bit of fizz from the carbonic tank process. The minerality & hint of herbs made for a even tug of war with the Tarragon & Basil.
