| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Dry rosé is a revelation for consumers who think "if it's pink, it's sweet.) And if it's pink, it must be drunk in the summer. We'll, no to both assumptions. If a dish is appropriate with a rosé, and there's a blizzard on outside, why should I change my wine? Rosés are ideal with so many foods, it's a shame to suspend enjoyment of them until it's warm again outside. So, for friends who are looking for new ideas, give them a surprise with a dry rosé. This one, from France, shows an elegant and less boldly fruity character than some rosés, especially New World rosés that often evidence a bolder style. It's not a matter of which is better, but which you prefer and which goes with a given dish. So this rosé shows restrained, elegant strawberry/raspberry fruit aromas and flavors that go seamlessly from aroma to palate. It's made from Grenache noir (30%) and Syrah (70%), so it's got .plenty of body and a lovely deep pink color. Dry from start to finish, it keeps the palate interested. Good acidity is palate cleansing. Serve just cool (55°F/13°C) in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Makes a lovely aperitif wine with grilled bacon-wrapped scallops; smoked salmon mousse; slightly spicy shrimp dip, crab-and-lobster red pepper dip or mousse; pimento cheeses and bacon on a grits timbale; escalivada (eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and garlic baked and served at room temperature), grilled fish or shellfish with salsa romesco.
