Happy Sunday! I spend a good portion of the afternoon decorating Christmas trees, and I'll admit I did not quite finish, but at least there is wine! Tonight I've opened a bottle of 2020 Maison Bleue Lisette Rosé. I know it's a bit past rosé season, but what the heck. This wine is a pure Grenache rosé from the Summit View Vineyard in the Walla Walla AVA of Washington, so let's see how this wine is tasting.
The wine is a lovely pale peach color in the glass, with aromas of peach, green grass and hints of rose petals. Take a sip and you're greeted with crisp citrus, melon and fresh herbs that wash over your palate before transitioning easily to some notes of strawberry and earthy mineral notes midpalate. The finish is crisp and very dry with a reprise of peach and white floral notes and the end.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 9, as it's an ideal summer sipper, perfect for friends on the patio. This wine would be ideal with a range of summer salads, from a citrus and pomegranate with arugula, to roasted beet and feta. This wine would also pair well with some curry chicken and vegetables, or classic lighter seafood, like alder planked salmon or pan seared halibut. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with some steamed snow crab legs with drawn butter, ideal for a Sunday dinner! Cheers!
