Cold Blossoms

cold blossoms 2006

The peach tree in the back yard just started blooming this past week in Nashville. That reminded me again of a lot of wines that I've smelled. You know, there can be that hint of Springtime blossoms, subdued by the coolness of early Spring. It's floral, but not unbridled flowers. It's more of a subtle, clean, naturally dilute essence. This is what is meant when you read "cold blossoms" as a descriptor on Winewaves.

Jerry, great website. We learned about it from Bob at Frugal's. Just one concern: don't go telling everybody about great rose's. Those all belong to us. By the way, in a more serious vein, we had never heard the term "cold blossoms" before, but our family had visited a particular vineyard in the Mendicino Anderson Valley in the springtime over a number of years,Navarro, and the term we have searched for to describe this special place and its wine is your wonderful "cold blossoms".

Thanks Sam and Glenna - I really appreciate your comments and share your enthusiasm for rosé.
