TN: 2011 Artazuri Garnacha Navarra Rosado (Spain, Navarra)

  • 2011 Artazuri Garnacha Navarra Rosado - Spain, Navarra (4/11/2012)
    Pretty deep for a rose. I was expecting a clumsy wine, but this is surprisingly bright, fresh and clean. Surprisingly crisp, very fresh and with excellent brightness, balance. Mostly strawberry fruit. To be honest, this is more lithe and balanced than I would have guessed from the color. Better chilled to around 50 degrees. Clean, a bit texturally chewy, but clean- and I liked that. This has a more-ish flavor. A nice start to the 2012 rose season. Enjoyable, clean, just complicated enough, and entirely refreshing on a 90+ degree day. 89 pts (89 pts.)
