Juan Gil Rose 2017

Last year's inaugural vintage of this beauty scored an outstanding 91 points from Vinous, writing that it "reminds me a lot of a top-notch pink Bandol." High praise indeed, and good news, the 2017 proves that a second act can be as good (if not better) than the first! Sophisticated and bone-dry, the 2017 Juan Gil Rose is a meticulously crafted blend of Syrah and Tempranillo, treated gently and carefully in concrete egg tanks, then touched with four months on French oak to emphasize balance and create a seamless texture from front to back. A natural pairing with top-notch Northwest Salmon or seared Tuna steak.
