Sometimes in life your path crosses with people who turn out to be something special. One of those people is today's winemaker Cynthia Cosco of Passaggio Wines who has become a close friend. We had the opportunity to meet roughly 5 years ago and tasting her creations throughout those years has been a real treat for me. Her growth as a respected female winemaker is due to hard work, excellent wines and that fact she is so down to earth. Yes Cindy you deserve every accolade given!
Tonight's wine is a new one in the Passaggio portfolio the 2014 Mourvedre Rose. Priced well at $26 and going fast I might add. The nose is an explosion of red berry clusters strawberry, cherry and raspberry. A kiss of fresh rose pedals compliments the bright fruit. Beautiful nose!
The mouth is lively with fresh strawberries, ripe cherry and a splash of plums. A touch of herbal notes but as the wine opens I get a berry creme sensation with a nice long finish. Crisp and clean with a nice balance of acidity. A wonderful expression of rose` Cindy!
Make sure you stop by the tasting room in the Historic Sonoma Square 25 East Napa Street Suite C. Open noon to 6 Mon-Thur with Fri-Sun 11-6. A relaxing atmosphere for wine lovers and their friends. You may just see the winemaker chatting about her exquisite wines.
Cheers
Dan
