12991KinzGlen AllenVirginiaUSAThe wife and I popped this open post half-marathon and 8k run, as it seemed appropriate to have something bubbly at that point. And I really wanted some alcohol to take away how much my legs hurt. In any case, Pours a lovely bubbling deep pink. Aroma has a bunch of strawberry notes. Flavor was quite a surprise - probably the first sparkling rose that really gave a strong hint of the red wine grape that lurks behind it. Still strawberry accented, but a bit of cherry and dark fruit peels as well. Had some heft to it. Really enjoyable stuff. 5, 12, 16, 8. 11/14/2009
7593JaneGarveyAtlantaGeorgiaUSAAny afternoon spent on the patio or deck needs to start with bubbles. One of the most rewarding and unusual sparklers I've seen this summer is a dry rosé of Pinot Noir from Austria. This outfit, which also raises Angus cattle, does a wide spectrum of wines, from dry to sweet, including dessert wines from the Bouvier grape, which I fell hard for about a decade ago. This organically/biodynamically grown wine shows a gorgeous delicate pink color. Just looking at it gives you a lift. Then comes the wonderful, slightly floral, delicate scent that leads to a rush of red fruits on the palate: Strawberry and raspberry flavors show a freshness that wakes up the mouth most delightfully. With just 11% alcohol, this wine will revive you, not knock you out. Serve chilled at 45-50ºF/7-10ºC in tall tulip-shaped glasses. Use a corkscrew for this one as the stopper is not a classic Champagne-style cork. A great value in this genre. Foods: Delicate summer fare, such as potted shrimp, crab/lobster terrine or dip with red pepper; crawfish salad, Thai-style seafood dishes (not too hot), spring rolls, dim sum, such as potstickers or steamed dumplings, chicken or ham croquetas.
