Olivares Jumilla Rosado 2013
Jumilla, Valencia and Murcia, SpainPower of suggestion? The bright watermelon hue is reflected in the aromas of this juicy rosado, along with fresh strawberry and sweetly scented candied berry fruit. This is no simple wine; 70/30 monastrell/syrah comes together with spicy, nutty minerality, sun ripened cherries, wild strawberries, pink flowers and ripe pear. Dry and fruity, with ample berry cushiness on the palate, this will remind you of watermelon season even through the wet coast winters. Crack for lunch with melon and prosciutto or bagels and lox.Tasted: 12 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $13.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
