Just Released for Summer Sipping–Rosé of Grenache
With a salmon-pink blush, this 2010 Rosé of Grenache is crisp and dry in the classic French style. The flavors are of raspberries and tart cherries–light and refreshing.
Winemaker Charlie Dollbaum notes that the 2010 growing season was cooler than average, allowing Carica’s small lot of premium Grenache from Judge Family Vineyard, Bennett Valley AVA (Sonoma County), to reach physiological ripeness at lower sugar levels–ideal for producing a full-flavored Rosé.
During July, Carica 2010 Rosé can be tasted and purchased locally at the Tasting Room, 2301 Monarch St., Alameda, CA 94501 (Wednesday through Sunday, 12Noon to 6PM). Or visit Carica’s online shop, www.CaricaWines.com $18/bottle.
