The fourth of four wines at the K&L Lewis tasting. Spent $10, enjoyed four wines that are all good to excellent.
This is a delightful rose. Not what you want to be drinking in February with a light drizzle falling outside, but certainly something to enjoy on a warm to hot summer day, refreshingly chilled. It has very nice fruit, a nice balance of acid for some pop and a very nice sweet/tart blend flavor in the mouth. I think it was served a bit warm for this tasting, but it did allow it to bring out its flavor.
This would be great with a summer BBQ chicken salad mixed with corn and carrots and a mild cream dressing.
I would only quibble with the price, given that there are many very fine summer rose that come in around $15, rather than $25.
