Comfortable in my masculinity, I'm never afraid to go pink - at least in the summer. This 2008 somehow survived last summer in my basement and I couldn't motivate to pull it out over the winter. So while I'm a little late in getting to this one, I threw it in for the 4th of July weekend (2010) in Maine and very glad I did. The color of this rose stands out as my whole family notices its' deeper rustier colors. I find it has just a bit more weight than most roses and that finding is confirmed when Mrs. Vino tries - and likes this wine. She's typically not a rose fan. As the wine is 70% syrah, I wonder if the boldness of that varietal is giving it more oomph. This wine would go with almost any foods - but we actually enjoyed it with lobster by the lake - on a warm summer night! Happy Birthday USA! (70% Syrah and 30% Cinsault)Sunday, July 4, 2010
