Review: Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rosé offers berry,
tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish.
Focused and juicy.
My Review: The
second rose on the wine tasting today but this one we know is a Tempranillo so
was definitely excited about it. The
smell was very light and almost undetectable for anything in it. I finally got some cherry hints after
swirling it for a while but overall just very light. The taste was very surprising based on the
smell! It was a light flavor but it was
kind of complex in the taste. It started
off light but as you let it sit on your tongue it grew in flavor. It was like it was tempting you to try more
of it just so you can figure out what is hiding behind the lightness. I would say that this rose was the most
enjoyable of the bunch because it was closer to a red wine that either a rose
or white wine.
