Latest News > 2009 Juniper Crossing Rose

The Crossing wines fulfill a different purpose from the Estate wines. They are our more easy drinking style with an appropriately lower price tag. We would like them to be enjoyed every day while the Estate wines remain the pinnacle of our ambitions, spending more time in oak (in the case of the reds) and being released later.

2009 Juniper Crossing Rose

Reviews:

Has a distinctive leafy, spicy character on the nose. The palate is light and fresh with lots of leafy fruit. Fine acid and a little tannin for backbone with a dry persistent finish. 87/100
Ray Jordan, The West Australian - Cellar Notes, 17th June 2010

A tad frantic in getting this one written up as I would hate the 2010 vintage to hit my desk before getting this into print. Call it the last of the Summer wine, the time in the bottle, and on our tasting bench hasn’t hurt this at all. Indeed I like the lush fresh watermelon lift that this has all the way through. Made in the saignée method, it is soft tempered gentle and yet still imparted with succulence and character to the end. I await the 10. Try it with marinated pork Vietnamese style.
Drink Now. About $18. 13.5%. 88/100 – Very Good
