We promised a review on this organically-grown, tetra-packed wine after our “STAYcation” at Saint Louis Cellars, and the Wine Armada now delivers. Trying one of these new “green” packages has been on the radar for awhile, so when this Monestrall/Syrah blend from Spain’s Alicante region appeared on their horizon, we immediately sailed full-speed ahead.
2008 Yellow + Blue Rosé
Alicante, Spain
THROUGH THE NOSE: Hard cherry candy and red raspberry jam
AROUND THE MOUTH: Pomegranate and strawberry juice, with a tenuous minerally, acidic grip on larger than usual Rosé frame.
ON THE SIDE: Serve cool, but not cold. Was the perfect partner to an herbed chicken thrown on the grill. Would perform just as well on it’s own poolside, on a warm summer day.
BY THE NUMBERS: Saint Louis Cellars will surrender this for only $13.99. Wine Armada gives this a 15-gun salute on our 21-gun salute scale.
IN SUMMARY: An extra salute is fired in honor of yellow+blue wine’s earth-friendly commitment with their packaging and organic certification. This Rosé is as fresh and flavorful as anything from a bottle and is a trend we can all get on board with.
