WTN: 2011 Barnard Griffin Rose' of Sangiovese, ...

Columbia Valley, Washington. Grapes sourced from several vineyards. A bit of residual sugar. The color approaches a pale red--maybe call it a deep coral. A bit of fizz in the first glass. Pomegranate and citrus notes mingle in the mouth and the wine has some vibrancy. The first glass went down my throat quickly so I obviously liked it. Nothing profound here but this could be a good patio, picnic, or party wine. I broke my usual two glasses a night rule and had a third glass the first evening. I didn't enjoy it as much on the second evening and I not sure if that was because the wine was less fresh or if it had to do with my mood. I had a few ounces left for the third evening. It seemed more soda pop-like to me on that final glass. I have two more bottles to open this year.
