Red Rooster Reserve Rosé 2013

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpicy pepper and bold berry fruit in this deeper pink coloured rose, a dog's breakfast blend of malbec, cabernet franc, syrah, mourvedre, petit verdot, pinot noir and grenache. The bold, bled-off palate is on the crunchy side, with crab apple, rhubarb, cranberry, red currant, bitter cherry and punchy spices. Not shy, pour this alongside equally bold food - I suggest grilled beef burgers with blue cheese or Greek lamb kabobs. A current release (2013) with a puzzling reserve designation.Tasted: 21 June 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
