*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery.
Spring. Glorious spring. Long warm days, with cool nights and sipping rose on the porch. Who could ask for more? Well, if you haven’t got some of the 2011 Vin Gris de Cigare Bonny Doon Rose in your glass, then your certainly could ask for more. You should have some. Especially at a price point of about $14 on various online wine shops. The wine has a screw cap closure and clocks in at 13.5% alcohol by volume.
Four takeaways from this wine:
1.) Pair it with BBQ ribs. The acidity will be a great foil to the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.
2.) My glass on a Saturday afternoon on the porch is perfection.
3.) Screw caps are great for parties.
4.) Randall Graham really hit it out of the park with flavors and balance of acidity and structure with this one.
On the nose I found watermelon, strawberry, raspberry, spice, and red cherry. In the mouth I got strawberry, red cherry, tangerine, watermelon, raspberry, and a bit of pepper. You can tell just from the nose of the wine that the palate will have great acidity, and without fail, it follows through.
