Wölfer Estate Rosé 2009

The summer is almost over, time to drink some rose wines! Couple more weeks and they will seem just a little too wimpy... Anyhow, the Long Island Wölfer Rosé is a total crowd pleaser, to the point of being obscene. Passion fruit and peach all over the place, some white flowers in the nose, some citrus in the finish. Pale peach color, pretty much full body, very pronounced glycerin, dry, refreshingly tart. A coupage of Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Paired with a black pepper tuna stake and arugula ravioli held its own, double rainbow all the way!
