We’re Toasting: May Day Rosé Today on KXAS/NBC DFW

Happy May, the inevitable start to summer filled with blooming flowers that Guinevere sung so joyfully about in “Camelot.” As a toast, this morning on KXAS/NBC DFW we raise a glass to May with refreshingly lively rosé, both traditional styles and varieites, and a few non-traditional. Below are a few notes on each, a link to the segment will be up shortly. Cheers and aloha!

Review: A Rosé to Chill You Out

Epoch 2015 Rosé

Oh Texas, our Texas.  So darn hot.

Summer is definitely in full swing, and what better to beat the heat than a glorious chilled Rosé?  Check this one out...

Nick's Review

Stone fruits, apple, citrus, pear, with bright floral notes. A light hint of tomato and ginger follows... Shows this wine could stand up to food with spice! (Break out your Thai food)

Light acidity with exemplary body for a rose. Definitely dry but it won't tear your face off. Pleasantly bold, throwing flavors of tomato, ginger, and raspberry on the palate. If you keep it in your mouth you'll be pulled into spicy almost warm sensations on your tongue as if you've just swallowed a bite of spicy pad Thai. Don't be fooled though... This won't deter those who hate spicy foods. It's just more fun than light boring fruity Rosés with light or no body.  

Despite the ginger and body in the mouth, the finish is quite soft. It almost disappears off your tongue and finishes the show with a small fireworks production of citrus and spice. You'll want more. Trust me. 

At only $28 I'd pick up a case... But a single bottle will more that satisfy you on these hot summer days.

A Paso Robles blend you shouldn't pass up

Epoch 2012 Veracity

Epoch wines have been produced since 2010.  The property they occupy rather, sports a rich tradition of over 130 years of wine making.  Epoch wines may be fairly young as a winery, but let us tell you... they are making some excellent wines.  Check out our review of the Epoch 2012 Veracity below...

Our Review

If there was something past over ripe, and something past that, that word would describe the nose.. And that's a good thing because it's super pure! Prunes, blueberries and kirsch (all liqueured) dominate. This almost had Phillip Togni's red dessert wine quality to it. Totally balanced (in the low acid sort of way, which is what people pay real money for with Rhones.. And just about everything else) and pushing the boundaries in all directions; this is a textural and hedonistic skyscraper of a wine. Does it leave your mouth tired? Maybe, but in a good way-like after spending the day drag racing. Awesome.
