Mission Codename The Bachelor's Best
You may remember today’s winemaker Ben Flajnik from his runner-up appearance on season 7 of The Bachelorette or his starring role on season 16 of The Bachelor. Back then he was winning hearts across the nation, and winning palates of those fortunate enough to taste the outstanding wines of Envolve Winery. After selling Envolve he went on to found Fernet Francisco, a unique herbal spirit and digestif. But he didn’t leave wine behind:
Today we bring you his latest work, Ion Wines. Impressive to behold and impressive to taste, our tasting panel was blown away by what Ben’s been up to since he stepped out of the limelight. And at 40% off, you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful rosé for under $15.
This rosé couldn’t be more picture perfect: It’s a gorgeous hue of bright pink with opalescent clarity. The bouquet leaps out of the glass bursting with fresh berry flavors of strawberry and raspberry. It has a delightful floral hint as well with a hint of rose. It’s all about the berry flavor on the palate as well. You’ll swear you’d picked a perfectly ripe strawberry straight off the bush.It’s all about the berry flavor on the palate as well. You’ll swear you’d picked a perfectly ripe strawberry straight off the bush. And it’s all wrapped up in a perfectly dry, bright and refreshing mouthfeel - exactly what you’re looking for in a rosé these days. Perfect for a watermelon salad with mint and feta. If you don’t have that on hand, a nice sunset will do just fine.
As “Bachelor” Ben likes to suggest, this Provencal style of rosé can be enjoyed at any time of year. Don’t miss out on this great wine! Stock up while you can!
