2013 Longview Boat Shed Nebbiolo Rosé

longview roseThey’ve picked good variety for this Rosé and that’s largely what’s so satisfying about it. A bit of stylistic exploration could see further improvement. This vintage is pale, dry and cleanly made.

An assault of upfront fruit intensity precedes a midpalate with bevelled edges and embedded acidity. Tastes and smells of blood oranges, rose petals, cherries and raspberries with a little dill and earth. Spicy and savoury on the finish with a very slight phenolic crimp and a little warmth. 89
