Wirz Vineyard Old-Vine White Blend 2013

Unruly upon opening; delightfully tame, tender, floral and textured as it has a chance to compose itself. — 10 years ago

Côteaux Varois en Provence Rolle Grenache Blanc

Brangelina got it right with this one! With the help of Marc Perrin, they created one of the finest rosés I've stumbled upon yet. In the nose, I pick up on subtle hints of strawberries, fresh whipped cream, and rose water. On the palate, it tastes just like it smells! It begins with forward bright and fruity crispness, accented by a floral bouquet. I actually kind of prefer it once it's had the opportunity to warm up a little, about 30 minutes out of the fridge. It's well balanced with the perfect touch of light sweetness to balance out the pleasant acidity, that will lead your mouth watering for more. I rate this in comparison to all other wines. As far as a rosé goes, this ones nearly a perfect 10. I'm not the type to crave a Rosé, but this one may have me rethinking my past decisions. I can assure you, you'll be able to find me sipping on a glass of this enticing Rosé at my next weekend brunch! — 10 years ago

Once upon a time I learned how to make wine... In Idaho. Today I'm reveling in the blood, sweat and tears. — 10 years ago

I had the 2011. When we open the bottle there was a very strong plum and black licorice aroma, almost a bit too strong for me. However once it was decanted and allowed to sit the plum softened a bit and the licorice backed down, there was now a hint of Cedar and a touch of spice. Upon tasting 2011 you're greeted with a rich well structured wine with a mix of Cassis, Oak and to me a hint of tobacco, (others did not get the tobacco), with tannins that finish very nicely. However, I think we open this up too early and it may be better off visited after it is allowed to sit for a while longer. Do not get me wrong it is still a lovely bottle and it and it was well received, I will revisit this wine in a couple of years and compare the evolution of its maturity. — 10 years ago
