Rosewood Estates 2008 Res. Natural Ferment Merlot
I am very interested in Natural Ferment (aka: Wild Ferment) wines, these are wines that are not inoculated with man-made yeast but instead rely on what lies in the vineyard to get them going. They may take longer, they may be slower, they not be controlled, they made not ferment dry, but for better or worst they do make some interesting wines. This Rosewood is very enticing with blackberry and cassis on the nose, which follows pleasantly in the mouth with spice and good acidity that bites back at the tongue. The finish really brings it all together with raspberry, black cherry and spice - good fruit, good balance, good job. By-pass the cellar and drink over the next 2-3 years. Price: $36.00 - Rating: ****+
