Crisp, almost spritzy in mouthfeel - this is very refreshing and in the watermelon/underripe strawberry vein. Nice - if not profound.

I just got back from Sancerre and visited Jean-Marie. I really liked his rose.

Robin Garr wrote:Stelvin capped? I'm thinking that might be a factor in keeping rosé fresh a bit longer than the old CW, along with, as you say, cold storage and - of course - the particular style of the wine. I don't think I'd lap up Tempier Bandol rosé all that young, for example. And I'm pretty sure the Mosby Rosato I reported the other day will last for a couple of years, although it's really a light Cannonau red labeled as a pink.

I opened a bottle when down south in Milk River area last week. Everyone enjoyed this delicious rose and I intend to open another bottle this weekend! For me this is the best pinkie Lancyre has produced in the past three years.
Pale pink, almost medium-bodied with dried herbs and a juicy mid-palate. Great mouthfeel, especially in mid-palate. berryish, wonderful acidity. Winner at $19 Cdn.
Stay tuned, think David has a bottle lined up too?
Kelly, that Balbo seems to be a good wine eh. Might be here in town?

Well, I revisited the Lancyre with the girls at the Grill last night. Everyone thought my write-up was spot on except for some concern about a hint of bitterness on the finish. I agreed on reflection but the chefs pork kebabs a la minute helped the finish quite a bit.
So try food with this gem!

2009 Skewis Rose of Pinot noir. Made as a saigne, bled out after a day of skin contact, this rose is the truest to its varietal that I know of. All of the pinot characteristics of forest floor, black tea, red berry are there, subtly, like the fragrances that waft into your window on a warm day, and very pretty in the glass. They only produce 50 cases a year and every year I kick myself for not getting more.
2008 Regis Bouvier Marsannay Rose. Confirming Burgundy's reputation as a minefield, this is thin, acidic, not much on either the nose or tongue. OK with the grilled halibut on a hot evening, though.
