2011 Kelley and Young Rose

Sweet young strawberry, pink grapefruit and yellow raspberry meld with fresh lime, sweet-tart cherry, starfruit, pink rose petals, flint and a the faintest hint of subtle dried herbs. Ultra long and full of sustained flavor, the wine starts sweet and then goes softly tart and then, finally, softly flinty. Bright acids push flavors around the palate all the while. At the very tail end, a hint of the most subtle spice appears for a brief instant. Hands down, this Rose is the best we have featured this summer! This is ultra high praise, too, for we have showcased some rather remarkable wines. This delicious wine shows the great complexity of a Bordeaux-style Rose, but without any of the harshness you might expect from a French Rose. This wine is, instead, loaded with wonderful, authentic, exotic fruit, minerals and hints of mineral and subtle spice. We give this fantastic Rose our heartiest Wine Spies recommendation. At today’s price – or a higher price – this wine will not disappoint. Winery Notes.
