2016 Two Old Dogs Rosé · 미국

The 2016 vintage was our first venture into the production of Rosé. Looking for an affordable source of fruit that might reproduce our favorite dry rosés of Provence, we sought grapes from the warmer Central Valley area of Lodi and found a blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah that fit the bill! Typical of most lighter-styled wines, our 2016 Two Old Dogs Rosé is fresh and crisp, with little complexity but lots of fun appeal. It has a lovely light pink hue and shows hints of rose petals with wild strawberries, raspberry and watermelon in the nose. The flavors of wild strawberries persist, and although the wine is dry and delicate it carries a good weight in the mid-palate with a crisp and refreshing finish. There is even a bit of minerally, wet stone character to the finish.
