Happy Sunday! I finished planting all the annual flowers along the garage today, so my planting season is officially over. To celebrate, I've opened a bottle of summer rosé since it's been in the upper 80s every day for the better part of a week. Tonight, it's the 2022 Bledsoe Family Winery Healy Rosé which was just delivered in a club shipment yesterday (or maybe it was Friday, the days are running together lately!). This wine is a 100% Syrah sourced from the Schafer, Flying B and Los Oidos vineyards in the Walla Walla AVA of Washington. So, let's see how this wine is shaping up!
The wine is a lovely pink salmon color in the glass, and give it a swirl and you're greeted with aromas of tropical sunshine, with mango, citrus and pineapple intermingled with white floral notes and just a hint of minerality. Take a sip and you're palate is inundated with sweet tropical fruit, bright citrus and a crisp freshness that awakens your senses. The tannins are mellow, providing for a crisp dry finish that exhibits a roundness that lingers until your next sip.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 9, as I think this is the best effort yet of the Healy Rosé. This wine practically begs to be enjoyed on long afternoons on the patio with friends, enjoying summer caprese salads, light seafood or summer barbecue. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with a butter poached lobster risotto, as the creamy richness of the dish is a perfect foil for the bright acidity of this wine. Cheers!
