SPRING
INTO ROSÉ
SAVE 10% ON SIX OR MORE BOTTLES
Sale good through 5/19/12
 2011 Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé $10.99 -
Hailing from Provence, France, the land that some consider the pinnacle for Rosés, the 2011 Bieler Pere et Fils has been an instant success at Imbibe. This bottling comes from the former owners of Château Routas and was produced as homage to Charles' father, Philippe. Comprised of mainly Syrah, with the remaining balance made up of Grenache and Cabernet, this bottling is both beautifully rich and moderate in body. This is truly Spring in a glass. Touches of raspberry, wild strawberry and limey minerality lead way to a finish that is long and refreshing.
 2011 Mulderbosch Rosé of Cabernet $10.99 - While many folks haven't had the pleasure of enjoy the wines of South Africa, Imbibe is always ready to bring you up to speed on one of the great regions making waves in the world of wine. A great example of this is the 2011 Mulderbosch Rose of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the glass, the wine has an exciting pink color that almost has an orange tint. With a little more unique terroir influence than many other Rosés, this one captures classic flavors of raspberry and strawberry, but mingles it with a touch of tart tangerine and lime notes. Thoroughly thirst-quenching and a perfect pair with a strawberry balsamic and goat cheese salad.
 NV Stella Pink Rosé Moscato $12.99 -
For those fans of the Stella Rosa and Moscato d'Asti from the Italian producer Il Conte d'Alba, we've got something new for Spring that will make you very happy. Just in off the truck is the new Stella Pink Moscato. Made to pair with warm nights and light fare, the Stella Pink is perfect for those that are just getting into wine or enjoy their vino with a slightly sweeter style. With notes of ripe strawberry jam and watermelon jolly rancher, this is a wine that entices you glass after glass. The only problem with this wine is that it's almost too easy to drink so be sure to stock up!
 2011 Margerum Rosé of Grenache $14.99 -
Doug Margerum is easily one of the best winemakers on the Central Coast and one that produces consistently great bottlings year after year. You may remember the Margerum name from our Top 100 List when his M5 Rhone Blend won us all over. Just in time for Spring, his Rose of Grenache is beautifully balance and simply a fun wine to drink. Hints of strawberry crème, lime zest and a pleasantly crisp finish make this one to stock up on.
 2011 Fiddlehead Pink Fiddle Rose of Pinot Noir $20.99 -
We had the pleasure a couple of weeks ago to taste through the lineup of Fiddlehead wines with winemaker/owner Kathy Joseph. Along with an amazing Sauvignon Blanc and some outstanding Pinot Noirs, we also brought in Kathy's very limited Rose of Pinot Noir. Simply put as one of the best Roses we've ever enjoyed at Imbibe, this bottling is pure Provencal-style: clean, crisp and perfectly balanced. Notes of watermelon, cherry and raspberry dance in the glass with a complexity and depth of flavors usually not seen in Roses. Pick up a bottle today and learn why this is one to buy by the case.
