Choosing Wine by the (Back) Label: Importer Spotlight on Rosenthal 4-Pack Exploration

Ferrando 2019 Erbaluce di Caluso "La Torrazza"

100% Erbaluce. Golden Delicious apples, melon, quince, and a hint of banana. This light-bodied wine (12%) is remarkably complete, as the mouth-feel is full and generous in flavor and texture. A clean medium-length finish shows it's lemony side. This uncommon Piedmont white might surprise you and become a revisited favorite!

Gavoty 2020 Côtes de Provence Rosé “Récital”

45% Grenache, 45% Syrah, and 10% Carignan. Subtle berry fruits, crisp, and a hint of salinity. Texturally what you would expect and long for in a Provençal Rosé - supple texture, balance, and a building, lingering finish, sip after sip.

Fenouillet 2019 Ventoux

75% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 5% Carignan. Tons of berry fruits: raspberry, blackberry, boysenberry, and blueberry. Very ripe notes without the dried or cooked fruit that accompanies many southern Rhône reds. Juicy with a soft texture and a delicious concentration of flavors. One can almost imagine a flinty nuance adding a little complexity. Great little red, especially for grilling!

Tellus Vinea 2018 Bordeaux Rouge

Predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Red and purple berry aromas and a hint of bell pepper, along with the classic Bordeaux terroir. Full-bodied with ripe tannins and a fairly long finish. Organic.
