Never a bad time to sip one of this guys many varietals of wine. Photographer, winemaker Eric does it all but for the sake of wine grapes watch out for that mascot rooster of his.
When we all get back to visiting wine country and you have a chance to stop at Eric Ross Winery, you will notice the unique tasting room and it's rustic character almost as if you stepped back in time to the early Sonoma tasting days. Once inside you will be greeted by the tasting room staff and many times the winemaker himself is pouring and talking about his wines. Listening to Eric talk about his philosophy, winemaking and the vineyards from which his grapes are harvested, you start to "feel" and "smell" the vines/terroir characteristics with each swirl. Once you sip his wines you are hooked with lush fruit rolling across the palate and thinking how lucky you are to have discovered this juice.
The 2019 Russian River Rose' starts with a beautiful salmon color followed by hints of citrus, fresh wild strawberries and floral notes. The mouth is so full of fresh ripe strawberry with a splash of cherry, tart cranberry and a kiss of herbs on the finish. So good and paired well with the porch and 80 degree weather. Nicely done Eric.
Give the tasting room a call at 707-939-8525 and order some Eric Ross Wine today!
Cheers
Dan
