Blossom's Rose

Blossom's Rose Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: "What a beauty! Sure, Blossom the Cow is cute, but just wait until you get a good look at the 2007 Kunde Estate Grenache Rose inside the bottle. The color is brilliant ruby, reminding you that this low production wine is a rare jewel. Delicious and mouth-watering aromas of fresh watermelon and strawberries welcome you in a way no bovine has ever done before. Those inviting flavors come through clearly as you savor this crisp and richly textured wine. Our Blossom's Rose is a perfect warm weather refresher either on its own or paired with turkey and swiss, or a creamy pasta salad. Give Blossom's Rose a try and find out what the Sonoma Valley already knows: the Kunde family has always had a good eye for cattle." Tim Bell Winemaker

Varietal Definition
Grenache:
Grenache Noir is the world’s most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a Rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. Its strength is its ability to grow in arid and windy conditions. It’s particularly suited to warm coastal regions of California, Spain and France. Grenache-based wines tend to be high in alcohol, with attractive fruit qualities in youth and a sweet berry character.Used as a component in some Northern Rhône reds, nearly exclusively for Rhône Rosés and as the primary component in nearly all Southern Rhône red blends, Grenache is probably most notable as the base varietal for Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhône and Gigondas. In spite of its fame coming from French wines, Spain is most likely this grape’s origin.
