So, I shared with you the story of Vinum Cellars and their 2007 Stanford Wine Program win. Vinum has a summer special that will blow your mind. Both their 2006 Chard No Way chenin blanc number and 2006 Rosé It's Okay! cab sauvignon cuveé are selling at half off each case!
Price? $66 for 12 bottles (all CNW, all Rosé, or half-and-half)
And for that unbelievable price, you're also getting real tastiness, too. The Wine Enthusiast gave the CNW 87 points and named it a best buy in October. In the 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Vinum's Rosé took home a gold medal in the Dry Rosé class.
I haven't opened the CNW yet, but I did twist-off (rather than uncork)the Rosé with the work folks. It's definitely not a sugary sweet. Rather, it's very dry and has a decent body. I'm keeping it as a summer table wine and keep a bottle at work for impromptu dinner party presents.
From my wineBeagles facebook application tasting notes...
"The candy apple red hue of this rosé immediately sets it apart from most blush wines. It's a medium-bodied, crisp number that really surprised me. I expected something sugary, but was welcomed by bright cherry flavors from a cab cuvee."
