WTN: Summer in the City

by David M. Bueker » Mon Aug 15, 2022 7:16 pm

2021 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Summer Salters Rosé Shake Ridge Ranch - USA, California, Sierra Foothills, Amador County (8/15/2022)
Starts out like a 9-volt battery to the palate. The intensity is off the charts, but within moments it settles down. Then it’s a kaleidoscope of flavor, changing each sip, each moment. There’s peach, then watermelon, then lime, then mango - it’s a snowball stand with 50 flavors and no way to decide.

Love your description. Sounds amazing.

I love Shake Ridge fruit, but have never had a Rose from the vineyard.

As far as I know it was my first Shake Ridge Rosé.

Who else makes wines from this vineyard? Admittedly, it's a new one to me.

Shake Ridge? Oh lots of folks. Steve Edmunds makes wines from there. His El Jaleo bottling is Shake Ridge. Enfield has used grapes from Shake Ridge (Tempranillo). Hardy Wallace has used it for Dirty & Rowdy, as well as his new venture. Bedrock has done a few wines from Shake Ridge. There's more.

FWIW - there are 50+ results for producers using Shake Ridge in CellarTracker.
