Happy Sunday! Well, even though it seems that summer is oh so quickly easing into fall, there are still a few weeks left in rosé season, and since it's hot and sticky here today I am going full steam ahead with a 2023 Wines of Substance Ro Rosé that I recently picked up at Costco. This wine is made from Syrah sourced from the Buckshot Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope AVA of Washington. So, let's see how this wine is tasting!
The wine is pale peach color in the glass, ideal for a nice rosé. The nose presents aromas of tart apple, grapefruit and a bit of honeysuckle, that has summer written all over it. Take a sip and you have an interesting complex of smooth summer fruit flavor, melon, peach, strawberry and a hint of citrus that isn't nearly as pronounced as the nose would suggest. The tannins are well hidden, providing for a smooth dry finish that is very different than you standard crisp finish of a rosé.

Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8.5, as it's a lovely sipping wine that was also a terrific value at just $10. This wine would pair well with summer evenings on the patio, caprese salad or lighter seafood dishes. Tonight, I am making this a pure Pacific Northwest experience and enjoying this wine with a miso and sesame glazed wild Alaskan sockeye served with steamed rice and Italian pole beans I bought at the farmer's market. Cheers!
