Channing Daughters Tasting Notes
Rosso Fresco is an easy-going red blend whose varieties and proportions change with each vintage. The 2007 Rosso Fresco is created from 80% Merlot, 14% Syrah, 2% Blaufrankisch, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Dornfelder. The wine has a ruby red color with purple overtones. This is a dry, medium-bodied, balanced and juicy red wine with plum, black cherry, black raspberry, Asian and brown spices, a touch of smoke and a slight meaty/gamey note. Rosso Fresco is a playful, full-flavored, friendly red wine that pairs well with pastas and just about any fish, fowl or four-legged food you serve it with. One third of this delicious red wine never saw any oak and was raised in stainless steel, the other two thirds spent nine months in mostly older French and Slovenian oak and delivers a silky texture with a rustic note. Our 2007 Rosso Fresco has great balance, impressive length and real character for a straightforward red wine and thus offers terrific value. The fruit came from the North Fork; from Steve Mudd's vineyards, the Croteau Farm vineyard and Sam McCullough's vineyard. All the grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot, fermented in small one ton bins and punched down by hand. The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on July 28, 2008. Enjoy our 2007 Rosso Fresco at cellar temperature over the next two to three years.
