2022 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Summer Salters Rosé Shake Ridge Ranch - USA, California, Sierra Foothills, Amador County (6/2/2024)
Warm late spring day says Rosé, so I reached for this, as I had not opened one since last fall when we were up in Maine. Those extra several months have transformed the wine. It's not as fruity-friendly as it used to be, but it's miles deeper. There's still fruit, but it's rounder, and then the Mourvedre base kicks in to provide an umami core around which everything everything else spirals. I'm not certain which face of the wine I prefer, though the version that showed last night might be better for cooler times.
