Rose of Syrah – 2007; Orfila Vineyards & Winery; Escondido, California
Named, "Hibiscus" Rose of Syrah, this wine
is not only a fine addition to have in your collection, but also a special
treat to enjoy with friends. The wine is made from estate grown grapes and the
vineyard is located in the San Pasqual Valley. It has a wonderful, uniform and solid
rose color that is about as perfect as can be. The beautiful and exotic aromas
are pleasantly enticing. After the
first few sips, it tastes like a perfectly rich fully ripened apple, with a
bright sweet fruit flavor followed by just a hint of tart crispness. The
tasting profile encompasses full fruity flavors and a slight tartness towards
the end, hence the nod to how a perfect apple tastes. You may be
kicking yourself for not buying more bottles when you were there, but your taste
buds will be happy enjoying this beautiful wine you do have. Enjoy!
