In the hottest summer since forever, Enderle & Moll Spat rose is the solution to my Texas problem. This works for when I want red and red doesn't want to work. It's the heart and soul of German Spat with the ability to quench thirst. A cool dip off Liason, with more texture and thicker concentration.
It doesn't look like Rose'. It looks like 20 year old Barolo - crimson with browned edges. Awesome cherry laden notes. Fresh bing - dark to stain your fingers. And candied cherry too - like Ludens cough drops. And mint and menthol. And that texture - this is 13.5% ABV, but not syrupy the way Bandol rose's can be.
It's own exceptional thing. Drink at cellar temp. — 2 years ago
Interesting, more spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg than fruit. We first tasted it at Jefferson vineyard at Monticello on my 66th birthday trip. — 3 months ago
This was special. Just a 375mL opened late for a US Open Men’s semi. From the jump the bouquet grabbed me. Lots going on. Earth menthol aged nicely. This is a mature wine but not dusty. It’s packing it’s own punches and was a wonderfully unique ride. Lots of small sips and tastes because it’s one to savor but also so much going on - it seemed more appropriate. The fruit on the back end is memorable and layered. — 2 years ago
Delicious. Smooth red that would pair with almost anything or perfect to drink on its own. — a year ago
A great vermouth; easily stands on its own — 3 years ago

Better on its own and still needs lots of time. Hold another 5-8 years and beyond. — a day ago
