COPAIN LE PRINTEMPS ROSE - 2006

As the final days of summer wind down, it is about time I review a Rose. Made from Pinot Noir and Syrah with 13.4% alcohol. From Mendocino County, CA.

TASTING NOTES:

Light pink color with rose petal and strawberry aromas. Fruity raspberry-strawberry notes with apple core on the mid-palate and tart cranberries on the finish. Smooth and refreshing flavors with light bubbles (frizzante) that will remind you of a good summer sparkler.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

89 PTS

At $12 a bottle this is excellent summer wine. The perfect accent to a sunset or light backyard grilled meals. Delicious.
