Happy Monday! It's been a while since I've done a Monday post, but I'm having a special dinner tonight, which calls for a special wine. Tonight, I've opened a bottle of a recent wine club shipment from the Bledsoe Family Winery, the 2021 Healy Rosé which is made from 100% Syrah from the Kenny Hill, Flying B and Los Oidos Vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley AVA of Washington. Now I'll admit we aren't even close to rosé season given that's it's barely broken the 50s hear lately, but why not be optimistic and start early? At any rate, let's see what this wine has to offer for the summer!
The wine is a lovely peach color in the glass, with just a hint of honey color. A gentle swirl of the glass reveals aromas of peach, honeydew and a bit of citrus zest that would be ideal for a warm evening on the patio. Take a sip and you're greeted by a rush of pear, strawberry and a hint of lemon that ease into some mineral notes midpalate. The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering citrus notes, making this a wonderful summer favorite.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 9, though I may be biased given this is my first rosé of the year. This wine would be great with summer salads, burgers and brats or even Thai lettuce wraps. Tonight however, I am enjoying this wine with a crispy skin Scottish black pearl salmon filet with some wild rice and oven roasted carrots and asparagus. Cheers!
