2021 French Blue Bordeaux Rose
#48-2022
This Thanksgiving the Chardonnay Queen and I indulged ourselves with a Honey Baked Ham and a bottle of French Rose. We of course had "all the fixings", and had a wonderful holiday feast! Ham and Rose are a good pair.
This Rose from Bordeaux is mostly from Cabernet Franc grapes, with a splash of Merlot for character. The wine is left on the skins of the red grapes for only a short time and has a beautiful deep pink color. The aroma is fresh flowers and plums, with the flavors of cherry, currant, and red plum swirling in the glass. The finish is clean with a lingering effect, calling for another sip. The alcohol content is 12.5% and Norm's score is 89.
Great with ham, this Rose would also be a good companion for quiche at Sunday Brunch, with maybe a little smoked salmon on the side.
score: 89
price: $13 - $17
