Melton "Rose of Virginia": No, it's a light red. No,
it's a rose'. Hold on, you two! says the schizo, you're both
right! Off-red, that's what I'll call it, made from
grenache. Enormous, phosphorescent cherry-berry fruitiness,
bright acidity, no residual sugar but the fruit'll fool you.
Heavier texture than a Tavel, but the comparison is invalid;
despite the common cepage, this is clearly a marsupial.
Almond Smash for adults. Today, it's stellar with a
home-made Pizza Margherita. Edging toward a Triple
Larry.

'97
Sierra Vista "Belle Rose" ($10): A rose made up of
Mourvedre', Cinsault and Grenache. Lean, spicy aromas and
flavors with some red fruit. The varietals don't seem to
have gelled yet. Not a great wine but if you're a fan of
rose's, then it's worth giving this a try.
