There were 7 of us in total, all smiling huge grins at this bottle, so conservative pours.

Boundary Breaks Vineyard

Finger Lakes Dry Rose Blend 2016

Getting some air now on this bottle, so notes soon.
I spent way too much time mowing my lawn today, so time to relax in our low 80° temps today.

Holy moly, the color on this wine is crazy, they got a lot of extraction from the skins for sure. Light ruby, like a flawless stone you can see right through.

Nose is interesting with heavy strawberry and light banana notes.

Palate is very fruity, strawberry really dominates. First harvest strawberry, where the sweetness is still restrained, second harvest is always the most generous on flavor. Also faint tart cherry, fresh not dried, now showing with more air and warming of the wine.

This can easily become a staple rosé in our house, wow great bottle. Now I have to see if I can get more '16. This was their inaugural release, we acquired last Fall, BB has already moved on to '17.

Off to Bordeaux today - Any down to earth winery you can recommend - I am not into the gleaming shiny high tech 1-3 growths.

Maybe Chateau Belgrave in the Haut Medoc and Calon-Ségur in St. Estèphe, would be a couple I'd be seeking out.

@Pinotman /// Andreas If want to visit Chateaus in Bordeaux in the next week, they don’t see anyone without an appointment. If you haven’t already, I’d start calling and or emailing them ASAP.

Very champagne like (or at least sparkling grape like). Rich but not sweet. Interesting flavors beyond apple. Sadly it’s been drunk so I can’t give a real time taste analysis. You will have to try for yourself! — 7 years ago
