2009 Georgetown Divide Grenache Rouge

There's so much packed onto this label I don't know where to start, so here's everything:  2009, Rouge, Grenache, Georgetown Divide Vineyard & Winery, El Dorado, Duarte Georgetown Vineyards, Geyserville, CA.  The rest of the label is pseudo-philosophical noodling, so don't worry about that.  I got this as part of a mixed half case so I can't really a price.  Geyserville is in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco.


(Sorry for the not so great picture.)

I took a break from my pinots and petite sirahs to try this rosé ("rouge", whatever).  I've really tried to develop a taste for them but I haven't gotten there yet.  This one was very nice, though, not sweet (thus right up my allée, since we're going French), a nice mix of floral and fruit notes.

This went well with some ribs and a hearty soup.  I'm betting it would go well with a wide range of both winter and summer dishes.
