Wine By Nine

Ros? Wine by Folie a Deux from California. The 2006 Menage a Trois Rose is a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Gewurztraminer. The two red grapes received a 24-hour cold soak on the skins to give the wine its suggestive pinkness and luscious body. The Gewurztraminer was cold fermented to preserve the exotic spice and naked fruit. No malolactic fermentation here - just crisp acidity. This is the epitome of a good rose: a fruit-laden roller coaster ride of raspberries, strawberries, lychee nuts and flowers with a silky smooth finish.
