2008 Bouchaine Rosé of Syrah, Rockin' H Vineyard, Sonoma Coast (Blush Wine)

Nothing says summer like this beautiful Rose (Rosé) of Syrah.

The Syrah grapes that form the basis for this dry Rosé wine (also called a blush wine) come from the Sonoma Coast. We gently whole-cluster pressed the fruit (no crushing whatsoever), yielding a gorgeous crimson tint to this wine. Don’t be fooled by sweet associations to other beverages of this hue. This Rosé is all about  grapefruit and strawberry flavors balanced with sprightly acidity. A lovely wine for summertime salads, it’s also a natural with slightly more substantial items such as crab-advocado hand roll, even grilled-seasoned pork sandwiches. Only 306 cases of this Bacchus Collection wine was produced (back label printed was ahead of bottling and reads 340 cases).
