Lot 406 | 2021 Santa Barbara County Rose of Grenache 750ml

Lot 406
2021 Santa Barbara County Rose of Grenache

Pale salmon in the glass, it's perfectly lifted with a vibrant bouquet of spring flower perfume, blood orange, papaya bass notes, and a streak of white pepper; absolutely fantastic! Juicy, round, and perfectly balanced on entry, it unfurls on the palate with a mouthwatering blitz of crystalline, citrus-dusted minerality. The finish is long, vibrant, and pure with a terrific white pepper retronasal kick as it rides into the sunset. Fresh, bright, and pure in every regard.

Reviews

Summer

"It’s pink, put a decent chill on it and let ‘er rip by the pool."

— RObert M. (4/5)

#406 2021 Santa Barbara Rose - more goodness

"As stated in a past review Rose wine is my go to evening glass of wine. This was dry and crisp. Very enjoyable."

— Ann C. (4/5)

Good more-complex rose

"We liked this rose more than other grenache roses -- it's less overtly bubblegummy and more complex."

— Simon B. (5/5)

Would buy again

"This wine is great in the summer. Fruit-forward, orange and papaya and this zip minerality at the end. Good stuff and glad that I have 5 more bottles! Great QPR!"

— John D. (4/5)

Deee-licious!

"Talk about bang for your buck! We only bought a half case and kicked ourselves after we tasted it. This was a perfect summer time treat and it tastes exactly as the notes described. Again, de Negoce has never let us down."

— Terrance A. (5/5)

Light and refreshing

"Really delicious rosé with light, fruity tones. Can't go wrong with this one and it's a great value as always."

— Lucie B. (5/5)

Delicious

"I really enjoyed this rose; well structured and perfect for summer!"

— Jean K. (5/5)

Great summer sipper

"We loved this wine. It's a great summer 'boat' wine. I also liked that it wasn't as light as the Provence roses tend to be but also not as heavy as the zinfindel roses. We easily finished off the case this summer!"

— Tom R. (5/5)

Better than French rose wine!

"Love this wine - I’m mostly a French dry rose fan. We try this Santa Barbara Rose of Grenache and have reordered it a couple of times!"

— Anita M. (5/5)

Refreshing and Crisp Rose

"Refreshing and crisp Grenache Rose. Light bodied with moderate acidity. Palate is fruity with citrus/orange notes as well as a great minerality."

— Lukas P. (5/5)
