Brij Wines Oso Rouge 2024 Review
In some contexts, a Grenache and Mourvèdre blend might sound like a hearty, full-bodied endeavor, but on California’s breezy, oceanfront San Luis Obispo Coast, these grapes put a much lighter foot forward. This example comes from Brij Wines, a project from renowned winemaker Rajat Parr that focuses on the fresh, vibrant wines of the SLO Coast. The nose is perfumed with aromas of cherries, dried flowers, thyme, and pepper. The palate delivers pronounced strawberry flavors that develop over time from stemmy and tart to macerated and rich. Seamless tannins and a moderate 12.5 percent ABV keep it light and drinkable.
