Evesham Wood Vin d'Une Nuit Rose 08
Russ's dry rose for summer sipping, very very limited, and wonderful. The Evesham Rose has a spicy bright cherry tang with a bit of floral essence that works quite well with shrimp and Italian ham.
This is the second vintage in which we’ve produced our small quantity of rosé from the tempranillo grape. The fruit is sourced from two small vineyards in the mid-Willamette Valley. The 2008 vintage yielded sufficiently ripe grapes with excellent fruit acid. The resulting wine resembles a nice Spanish or Southern French rosé, with its melon and floral-scented fruit, crisp texture and light salmon color.
Immediate room-filling aromas of grapefruit, tangerine and rose petal, followed by crisp fruit flavors and a pleasing, palate-cleansing acidity. Great on its own as a chilled, summer afternoon quaff, and a wonderful food companion. So refreshing and delicious with barbequed chicken straight off the grill. - Avalon
Irresistible, vinous aromas of fresh strawberry and rosewater with the slightest hint of grapefruit. Crisp and delightful on the palate with summer fruit flavors and a refreshing acidity. Great with a wide variety of foods or simply refreshing on its own. - the winery
