The Winery: Columbia Crest
The Wine: 2007 Two Vines Vineyard 10 Rosé
The Price: $7.99 at QFC
I've said it before, and I'll repeat myself here tonight. Today's Rosé is not the same possum drool that was made (un)popular by Ernest and Julio Gallo. It's really not. Be adventurous and give it a try, but try one of the higher quality Rosés that is made from quality grapes.
The Columbia Crest Rosé is made from Syrah grapes. The wine has a deeper red color than many Rosés. This wine has scents of strawberries and cherries. It has a very light, crisp flavor, with tastes of cherries, strawberries and honeydew melon.
This isn't a bad Rosé, certainly far better than old-school Rosés. But if you're looking for a premium Rosé this isn't it. It's decent, and certainly drinkable. But the flavor isn't highly developed and leaves me wanting more.
