Surprising after barrel tasting their 15's last spring. They farm amazing fruit.

Domaine Montrose

Rosé Vin de Pays de l'Hérault 2016

La Côte Rêvée

Chemin des Sables Rosé Carignan Grenache

Wow, this is an amazing value wine at only $10! I confess, I didn't know anything about la Côtes Rêvée and assumed it was in Provence, due to the sweet lychee aroma. However, the medium plus acidity definitely makes sense for the Loire Valley. This delicate rosé has aromas of slightly underripe strawberry and raspberry, like they were the first crop of late spring. There is a bit of minerality that isn't quite smoke or gravel, but more like soft chalk. I would think from the aromas that the summer of 2015 (this vintage) was hot and they picked the grapes early. The varietals are Carignan (70%, increasingly popular in CA) and Grenache (30%).

I would pair this with a strawberry, goat cheese, and spinach salad or baked salmon with buerre blanc... mmm.... yes, definitely the salmon! Oooh, or shrimp scampi or pasta á la vodka! Definitely a food-friendly wine!

Word of advice: do not over-chill, otherwise you lose the aromas. 57-62 degrees is perfect for this wine, great for porch sitting when the weather is nicer!

Anthill Farms

Steel Plow Vineyard Grenache 2013

Fabulous. Clarity that rivals the most translucent of pinots, smoky nose, and a light-lightly tannic sip. Pair with a rainy, or better yet, stormy day; it's a contemplative bottle that would be well spent with some time for reflection. — 10 years ago
