Chronic Cellars, Paso Robles (California) 2016

Mar 13, 2017

By Rich Cook

This is about as close as you can get to a Provence style rosé in a domestic, and if you’re a fan, you’d be wise to seek this out.  Wrapped in the fun packaging you’ll find crisp watermelon and citrus, with light white pepper completing the aroma and flavor mix.  It’s got the acidity to hang with fried chicken, so dig out Granddad’s recipe and give it a go.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Monterey International Wine Competition.
