Serious Grape: Grenache Rosé, Maggie Hoffman, Serious Eats

Don't be put off by the pinkness: these are serious wines, full of flavor and regional character."

Just because it's summertime doesn't mean our obsession with Grenache grapes has to end. Winemakers all over the world include grenache in delicious dry and tangy rosé blends, and we tasted seven of them to pass along our recommendations...

The 2009 Grenache Rosé from Holly's Hill in Pleasant Valley, California is closer to the Tavel style: rich and intense, bright and fresh, with green apple tartness and tangy grapefruit pith notes. We tasted sour cherries and cranberry cocktail, with a depth (and high level of alcohol) that may surprise those new to rosé. ($18, find this wine here.)
