2019 Seavey Vineyard - Mimi's Rosé @seaveyvineyard · ℹ️
6/12/2021, 9:04:39 AM 2019 Seavey Vineyard - Mimi's Rosé @seaveyvineyard · ℹ️ This wine is 💯 estate fruit from Seavey Vineyard in Napa Valley, California. The wine is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot. The Cabernet Sauvignon is picked early just after version, then is whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. The result is a colorless juice. Several older blocks of Merlot are pressed and left on the skins for two days, then bled off "Saignée" to be added to the rosé. The second pick of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon is added to round out the wine· 👁 Medium pink color· 👃 Medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of barely ripe strawberry, red cherry, peach skin, rhubarb, cantaloupe, acacia, and high-end hand soap· 👄 The wine is dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), and medium body. A medium length finish of cantaloupe and floral notes· 🔔 This wine is a very well made rosé from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Not typically grapes that jump to my mind for crisp floral rosés, but this does the trick nicely. Lovely flavor profile with just enough fruit to let you know it is from California. High acidity and balanced alcohol. A welcome pour on any hot day· 💰 ~$40 #vin #lovewine #🍷 #wineterroir #wine #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #rose #roseallday #rose éallday #seaveyvineyard
