Second Rosé of the tasting is the Syrah Rosé from Scalon Cellars. Beautiful and bright pink in color, completely different than the Tercero Wines and a shade lighter than the Two Shepherds. Nose started out with some strawberries, red berries and some light vanilla. As it opened up over the evening it developed some rose petals and light white floral notes. Beautifully crisp and refreshing. Slightly sweet with a good amount of white and red fruits such as strawberries and white peaches on the palate. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and smooth body. Long crisp and off-dry finish. Drink till 2020. — 9 years ago

Quite simply my favorite white varietal….the structure of Chard with the acidity & crispness of a Sav Blanc. The fruit is fresh, perfect acid and finish — 4 years ago

Michigan Syrah! Believe this was a special [small] production wine and it was really impressive - very Old World style reminiscent of a Crozes with barnyard funk and meat and white pepper and blue/black fruit, camphor and spice and damp soil - all over the place, evolving, lighter weight but a ton of flavors, decent acidity too but bit abrupt on finish. Unexpected surprises from historic American winery. — 6 years ago

Larry does it again. Nice fruit-forward with citrus-y notes. Not your usual Albariño which is fine because this bottle is great. — 10 years ago

Ripe, round gold in the glass, nice medium weight on the palate. Lychee, ripe apricot, ripe peach and a bit of earthy funk. This wine rocks at six years of age. Still displaying amazing fruit/acid balance and probably capable of a couple more years. Larry Schaffer deserves full props for beautiful Rhône varietals at nice QPR. Cheers! — 5 years ago

Third Rosé of the tasting is the Grenache Rosé from Two Shepherd Wines. Absolutely beautiful in color, completely different than the Tercero Wines and a deeper and darker color than the Scalon Cellars. This Rosé was a deep rose pink almost magenta pink. Nose kept changing over the evening and even the next day. Straight out of the glass this wine attacked with strawberries and some white cherries. As it opened up there was a savory twist to it, very appealing for us. Moderate acidity (7/10), slightly less than the Tercero but was nicely balanced and in line with the moderate plus body. Beautiful texture and complexity. Acidity gripped the sides of your mouth mid palate and left you with a slight puckered feeling. Slightly dry finish that felt like it would not end. We enjoyed it best above fridge temperature, but give it a chance to warm up a little, the complexity continues to grow. Completely agree that we need to grab a few more of these before they are gone! Drink now till 2021. — 9 years ago
