Montes Cherub 2005, 2006 rosé of syrah, Chile

Anyone for rosé? You should be for it. This is the "white" for those who prefer red. Made from syrah, a red, this medium rosé is quite fulfilling. Strawberries, watermelon, and flowery notes. Slight tannin gives it some mmmph in the middle and a long finish. Serve it cool for the remaining days of summer outside while grilling lighter meats or fish. Great compliment to soft cheese or veggies. Light acidity will appeal to those looking for a heavier "white" or those who want that standalone lighter non-red.

I've had the 2005 and 2006 and both are very nice! This is readily available and should be on your short list for that one bottle everyone can enjoy.

T-scale 91. You should own a few of these. Almost everyone can enjoy this. It is also quite reasonable at $15.99 or so.
