Rockford Alicante Bouchet and Puddleduck (Pinot) Rose
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 5:51 pm
I like 'em big, my reds that is 
But I've started to appreciate the softer styles. This doesn't make me any less a RED man , just one with a softer side 
(the wife rarely sees this side)
Alicante Bouchet
Chilled slightly before serving, this is wonderfully fresh and crisp. The wine possessed wonderful aromas of fresh strawberries and cherries and a hint of citrus. On the palate, there was no hint of oak or tannins . The finish was refreshingly clean and crisp and uninterrupted by any residual sugar or acid. I alway get 2-3 dozen a year to quaff.
Puddleduck
A beautiful nose of strawberry complimented by a crisp clean finish. Best at about 6-10 degress, too cold and you will not appreciate palate.
