Gaston – 2019; Calais Winery; Hye, Texas

The Gaston label has been that rock solid Rosé that many Texas wine fans look forward to every year. The 2019 release is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault.  Strawberry and mango notes predominate in this vintage along with a splash of watermelon. The wine has a pleasant acidic finish giving it just the right amount of crispness without detracting from the lovely fruit flavors. Sadly, there will be no 2020 vintage to share. Thus, we look forward in hopeful anticipation that 2021 will bring better luck and allow this lovely Rosé to once again be bottled and shared with its wine fans everywhere. In the meantime, enjoy your 2019 stash of Gaston as long as you can. Santé!
