| 75 | | | 94 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Long involved with Eberle, Steinbeck Vineyards, which I have just visited, supplies both Syrah and Viognier to the winery , and has just released its own line of wines available only at the vineyard. (No, there’s no connection to the author; I asked, of course.) This long has been one of my favorite rosés. Full-bodied, this dry wine expresses all I enjoy in a rosé, and would suit happily red wine enthusiasts who typically wouldn’t care a thing for a pink wine. The color is a deep reddish pink, and the aromas and flavors capture fine red fruits without being overtly fruity. Hints of strawberry, baking spices, red cherry and red raspberry are well welded, and good acidity keeps the long finish in focus. This one you can sip all day and not tire your palate at the end of the meal. Foods: Spicy lobster/crab dip or shrimp dip; romesco sauce with grilled chicken or pork tenderloin; smoked salmon; baked or grilled salmon; chorizo (but not too hot); salamis and other cured meats; coppo- or prosciutto-wrapped chicken tenders; shrimp or scallops; roast or fried chicken; chicken cacciatore, grilled ham steak, lamb chops rubbed with a mild Moroccan seasoning; grilled sausages, especially lamb; vegetarian Persian dishes based on legumes, especially lentils; baked beans (not too sweet); Cajun-seasoned turkey. It’s really quite endless.
