Terre Rouge Vin Gris d'Amador, Sierra Foothills

Terre Rouge Vin Gris d'Amador, Sierra Foothills Wine Details
Price: $12.00 per bottle

Description: Our 2003 bottling of Vin Gris has the dryness, richness, and terroir of the best French rosés. With a substantial amount of Mourvèdre in this bottling I think the wine is more reminiscent of Bandol rosé than Tavel, in fact, people often compare our rosé to some of the most famous French rosés. We bleed some of our red Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah tanks to concentrate and intensify flavors. This juice goes into French barrels to ferment just like our other white wines. The wine has subtle cinnamon/nutmeg spiciness with tasty strawberry fruit characteristics. It is absolutely dry with a delicious creamy nuance and crisp bite.
