Green’s, The Rosé Experts The 2015 Vintage has Arrived!“Few wines are as easy-drinking, refreshing or as versatile as rosé. With the warmerdays of summer…it is time to start stocking up on these flavorful sippers, which arebest served well-chilled to allow their subtle fruit and spice flavors to shine through.

The best are also zesty enough to match well with lighter fare, such as grilled poultryor seafood.”

-The Wine Spectator

“There’s nothing better on a sultry day than a wonderful bottle of dry rosé.”-Robert Parker

Rosé season has begun!Over a decade ago, before Rosé became popular again, had introduced our

customers to the joys of drinking dry Rosé. It is the perfect summertime wine. Cooland refreshing, and usually moderately priced, Rosé is meant to be consumed

without pretense. It is “just” a fun wine that is delicious by itself or with almost anyfood.

Wolffer Estate ‘Summer in a Bottle’ Rosé -2015Green’s Cash Sale Price:

The color of sunshine, this wine gives juicy aromas of summer fruit—ripe peach, apricot andcantaloupe—along with honeysuckle and freshly cut hay. The mouth-feel is beautifully balanced.After the ripe lush fruit, including those on the nose plus lychee, come wonderful layers of acidity,

yeasty lees notes and mouth-filling texture.”-Winemaker’s Notes

Elizabeth Spencer Mendocino Rosé of Grenache-2015Green’s Cash Price:

“Beautiful pink color with a brilliant clarity. This wine is a delight to pour and share. Refreshing,bright, and complex. The nose is bold with crushed strawberry, fresh red raspberry and lingeringaromas of citrus zest and fresh cut flowers. Excellent acidity that cuts through the red grapefruit

and tropical flavors and lends a long, clean finish. Perfect alone, with plenty of weight to paircompellingly with a variety of foods. The finish is bright and full of lingering minerality.”

Cuvee Royale Tavel Rosé-2015Green’s Cash Sale Price:

The terroir of the vineyard of this wine is entirely “galéts roules,” the same large smooth pebblesfound in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. These stones reflect the heat toward the fruit during the day, andretain, and slowly release, heat throughout the night. The grapes get unusually ripe here. Made

from Grenache (50%), Clairette (11%), Cinsault (20%), Picpoul and Bourboulenc (10%) ,Carignan and Syrah (9%), this Tavel is rich and powerful. Possesses a deep pink color and ripe

cherries on the bouquet, this dry, rich, ripe red fruit flavored wine is one of the most concentratedRosés we carry. If Chateauneuf-du-Pape made a Rosé, this is what it would taste like.

Dme de Paris Cote de Provence Rosé 2015Green’s Cash Sale Price:

“Brilliant pale pink color; fine and pleasant nose with fruited notes where raspberry and wildstrawberry are predominant. In mouth, fresh and delicious wine, well-balanced .”

Victor Costieres de Nimes Rosé-2015Green’s Cash Sale Price:

What a beautiful Rosé! It’s hard for me to select a favorite of this group as I liked them all, but if Ihad to point out just one it would be this wine. It’s got everything; an elegant light to medium pink

color, a red fruit and watermelon-like aroma, and a flavor that is the perfect balance betweenacidity and fruit. It is from Costieres de Nimes, just west of Provence in the southern Rhone

Valley.

Chateau Cornut Costieres de Nimes Rosé-2015 (not pictured)Green’s Cash Price:

of wet stone and slight notes of smoky herbs.”-misaimports.com

Domaine Fazi Rosé Ile de Beaute-2015Green’s Cash Sale Price:

This is the fourth year we’ve been able to source this wine and it has become one of ourcustomers’ favorite Rosés. Made from four grape varieties, 35% Sciaccarellu, 30% Merlot, 25%Grenache, and 10% Cinsault, the major component, Sciaccarellu, is a native grape variety of theisland. Close in appearance to the Pinot Noir grape, the wine from this grape displays an aroma

similar to Pinot as well.“Oeil de Perdrix” in color (that’s fancy French talk for very pale Rosé), indeed it has a light tint ofbronze blended with an airy pale pink hue. The bouquet is very subtle, fruity and discreet, with

lightly spiced notes. The flavor is all about freshness and crispness.
