2007 Vina Robles 'Roseum' Paso Robles


Winery:

Vina Robles

Location:

Paso Robles, Central Coast, California

Wine :

2007 ‘Roseum’ Paso Robles (Huerhuero)

Appellation :

Paso Robles AVA

Price :

$13

Color :

Bright pink-red

Nose:

Watermelon, carnation, orange

Palate / Balance / Flavors:

Not quite ripe raspberry, floral notes, and a touch of bitter orange zest / kumquat. Very refreshing style, tiny edge of tannin, I love the balance of sweet fruit with herbal floral and slight bitterness like citrus peel. Doesn’t have the heaviness associated with a lot of Paso dry rosé.

Style:

Tasty, fun, easy to drink lots of this! Like the price too.

Analysis:


Comments:

I really like Vina Robles’ touch with white wines, (reds are generally good too, just that they are SO good at the whites; usually there are a few bottles around our house) – emphasis on fruit, freshness and vibrancy. This is a nice example. (Sorry my photo is so crappy – iPhone does not like up close shots very well.)
