Wine for Yoga Lovers Sangiovese Rose 2017
Langhorne Creek, South Australia, AustraliaOk. If someone showed me this label, I would pass. But if someone poured me a glass of this very pale, lightly spiced strawberry, wild raspberry, Rainier cherry, dried herbs, light bodied rosé, I would easily finish the glass and inquire what it is while pouring a second. Gimmicky label and name aside, this is pretty serious sangiovese rosé from Langhorne Creek. This achieves that tricky trifecta of fruit / acidity / interest, the latter in this case is a swig of salted herbs. There's a wee swell of warmth on the finish that surprises in this 12.5 degree frame, though that is easily overlooked by the numerous food pairing / patio pairing opportunities in this dry rosé. Props for making a real wine aimed at, I assume, a mass market audience of spandex-wearing yogi. Now, about that name / label ....Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $16.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
