 An Argentine Syrah Rosé

Wine Reviewed
Santa Julia Syrah Rosé 2011 12.5 % alcohol about $10.

In the absence of marketing materials let’s start by quoting the back label. “This Santa Julia Syrah Rosé is a dry rosé with deep pink colours, intense, ripe red fruit aromas and a soft spice finish. Is ideal to serve chilled as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to poultry, paella, cold dishes or vegetables.”

And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine offered refreshing acidity and strawberries. When paired with Wasabi-covered peanuts its acidity sharpened and it was round. An omelet perked up with dried basil, black pepper, chilies, and garlic powder gave this libation a pleasant sweetness but its fruit was light. A side dish of zesty guacamole infused spices into my glass. A tomato, cucumber, red pepper, and radish salad imparted good acidity and some metal into our Argentine friend. Fresh blueberries for dessert made this wine round and dark.
