Happy Sunday! It's been a day of best laid plans, as I had originally planned to trim all my hedges, but as I started my hedge trimmer, the blades would not engage, and since I'm reticent to trouble shoot in situations where I might lose a finger, I decided to merely trim larger branches and dig up some pesty trees. And now I am ready for wine and dinner on the patio. Since we are in the the heart of rosé season, I thought it best to open something from Provence, which I recently purchased from Wines Till Sold Out, the 2021 Les Vignerons d'Aix en Provence L'Exception Méditerranée Rosé. This wine is a blend of Grenache and Caladoc (a cross of Grenache and Malbec), so let's see what this wine has to offer!
The wine is a pale peach color in the glass, in line with the current trend in rosé. A gentle swirl of the glass reveals a cascade of peach, melon and pineapple that just dares you to sip by the pool, a true summer day in the glass. Take a sip and all the flavors of summer come to greet you, peach, melon, citrus and fresh cut grass with plenty of bright acidity and bits of honey and sunshine. The finish is crisp and dry, perfect for sipping on the patio with friend.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8.5, as it's just a wonderfully classis rosé ideal for the summer season. Enjoy this wine with summer caprese salad, shrimp cocktail or gazpacho for a wonderful afternoon. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with some crispy skin Scottish pearl salmon with some dill cream, along with some risotto and asparagus with hollandaise. Cheers!
