Cline Contra Costa County 2011
Mourvèdre Rosé, $7.99-$14.99 (NHLS Power-buy), 91 points, has a terra cotta to pale strawberry color; some people care more than others about color, but from the picture you can see how beautiful it is, as is the bottle itself.
The aroma is a gentle floral pink grapefruit, with a hint of key-lime pie (lovely).
Having a light body with good acidity, this beautiful Mourvèdre Rosé carries a whisper of floral strawberry-pomegranate flavors that finishes easy with a hint of pink grapefruit.
This maybe the best Rosé I've tasted. Thanks Jim, from the Bedford New Hampshire liquor store, for the recommendation!

What a photo!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, or is it good night, to you MR. Ben.
DeleteThanks for the notice.
That sounds fantastic. Never seen that one down here. I can't imagine there being too many domestic Mourvedre rosés.
DeleteAnd yes, that is a gorgeous photo!
Bill, it's always remarkable when a wine, Rose, isn't generally a wine that's appealing to me, yet impresses, not only in flavor, but in price too.
DeleteBill, I wish that you could try this one, but even my son, who doesn't like rose wines, was as impressed as I was.
Nice find Dennis. Some of my favorite roses have come from Mourvedre. Cline makes some good stuff and very reasonable prices.
