Wine of the Week: 2013 Julia's Dazzle Rose
Having sampled many Washington Rose wines this summer, I have found the best one of the bunch. Literally, the perfect wine for summer, this wine was produced by Gilles Nicault, an esteemed winemaker for Long Shadows. Gilles selected a block of Pinot Grigio and gave it extended time on the vine to develop a bright tint through slow fermentation, then added 2% Sangiovese to the blend for color. The results is a rich and flavorful Rose that is bright and has a strong minerality. The flavors and complexity of the wine are second to none for Washington Rose. In fact, I have never tried a better Washington Rose. You can find this wine for around 15 bucks at Costco and area wine shops. ‪#‎juliasdazzle‬
2013 Julia's Dazzle Rose- Made from Pinot Grigio grapes that are grown in The Benches. Minerals, strawberry, guava and a ton of character. Maybe even vanilla cream. I'd say this is the most delicious and best made Washington Rose I've ever had. -93
