Underground Wine And Why Am I Mr. Pink? Rose 2017
A very pretty pale-salmon color, this blend of Sangiovese and Syrah brings exuberant aromas of strawberry bubblegum, honeydew melon and pink-grapefruit peel. It drinks dry with plenty of strawberry and grapefruit flavors that persist on the finish.
The first wine for the monthly selection was The Underground Wine Project “And Why am I Mr. Pink” Rosé Columbia Valley 2018 from Washington State. The Underground Wine Project is a collaboration between two Washington State winemakers; Mark McNeilly of Mark Ryan Winery and Trey Busch of Sleight of Hand Cellars. The two men besides having successful wineries have been good friends for the last fourteen years and in 2009 launched their first joint collaboration “Idle Hands” with a hundred cases of wine, and it became a cult favorite almost immediately.
“And Why am I Mr. Pink” made its debut in 2015, first capturing the interest of Washington State and then going national. The 2017 vintage took its place at Number 70 for the Top 100 Best Buys by the Wine Enthusiast magazine. The wine is a proprietary blend of Sangiovese and Syrah. The demand must be good from the marketer’s viewpoint as they produced thirty-thousand cases of this wine.
