Petulant Natural Sparkling Rosé 2017

9.1

Continuing my way through some unique TX wines from Ron Yates Winery and Spicewood Winery.

@Delectable Wine : This is the Ron Yates Petulant Natural Sparkling Rosé wine. It was not in the database.

This is my first PetNat wine and this is a head scratcher! Ron advised me to let this get cold for a few days upright to allow the sediment to fall, then carefully and slowly pour/decant. Sealed under bottle-cap, this fizzed only a little bit upon opening. Murky and muddled at first, once it settled in the glass, grapefruit rind and clay covered strawberries. Incredibly fine bubbles. The finish was very crisp, and a bit more strawberries and raspberries came out the longer it was open.

What an absolute treat to try! Many thanks @Ron Yates on helping craft this wine...incredibly cool that TX is making these! — 7 years ago

@Shay A -Looks like Guava juice in a wine glass! Aloha!

Ron Yates

It’s unfiltered and fermented with native yeast so it can be interesting if you don’t decant and separate the spent yeast from the wine. Fun little project and I am glad you enjoyed it.

Joe Lucca

@Shay A Looks very fun. I enjoy these diversions from the norm. @Ron Yates Very cool stuff; reminds me of what Frank Cornelissen is doing in Sicily. Not sure if you’re familiar with his wines, but they are fun to try if you can get your hands on them.

Intoxicating! Nose is gorgeous. Flirty, swirling aromas of red raspberry, sour cherry, subtle vanilla, anise, clove... It doesn't quit. A firm bite, a bit grippy, but incredible age ability. — 10 years ago

Brief tasting notes from the annual Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival. Whites knocked it out of the park this year.

Nice surprise running in to @Ron Yates at the festival tonight! @Shawn R , we spoke about you!

A very unique blend...Tempranillo, graciano, merlot, Cabernet. Nose is very fruit focused with bing cherry and blackberries, but the palate is quite Bordeaux like. Picked up some herbal nuances, leather, and lighter than I expected. I’ve heard Ron makes great wine so this was my first intro...looking forward to trying more! — 8 years ago

@Shay A Random - Do you have any recommendations for good wine shops up here in Fort Worth? Retail, that is.

Shay A

@Ryan Vento : I’d recommend Kent & Co off Magnolia in Fort Worth. Wine bar but they also do retail...great/hard to find bottles. Same with Cadillac Wines (it’s in a Cadillac car dealership...tiny wine shop, great wines!). Put A Cork In It off University has more off the beaten path wines.

Ryan Vento

@Shay A Very good, thanks for the recommendations.

I enjoyed a TX White tonight myself (Kuhlman SB). Love how well our home state is doing at utilizing the right varietals.

@Shay Aldriedge Kuhlman is making some great juice right now. @Shawn R I am glad you enjoyed the 2015 Viognier. We will be releasing two 2016 Viognier's sometime in the fall that I am very pleased with.
