This rosé is not shy, it commands attention right out of the bottle. Pouring up a bright cherry red, it looks like a Spanish rosado. A whiff brings into focus some truly earthy strawberry and cherry aromas. There is a great deal of stemmy greenness in that whiff, too. The palate is lush and fruity but there is an awesome acidity that makes it so fresh the day will turn into spring all around you, no matter what season it is.

Savory berry, bright round body, tingling acidity, eucalyptus on the edges.

Beautiful deep rose color. Artificial cherry Jello with hints of strawberry and raspberry on the nose. Medium bodied with some tart cherry, cranberry and watermelon rind on the palate. Works great with some spicy food with minimal heat. I could see this going well with some Mexican food, cilantro kind of dishes. Don't go in thinking Provence Rose. This Rose has more muscle. Not power lifting muscles but more like light weight high reps muscle. #winechat #winewednesday

Cryspy and spicy, this rose from Montes has always been one of my favorites of New World! Lot of red fruits are shown in this beautiful wine mixed with exotic red flowers...

The only thing that would pair with all of our Puerto Rican food. Screw top.

Crisp and very long finish. Fruity as a Syrah should be. With @tammyhassan. @AurelioMontesB

Сира, Гренаш. Красивый светло-лососевый цвет. Клубника, малина, красная смородина, черешня, лепестки роз, фруктовые леденцы. Свежий фруктовый вкус. Очень приятная кислотность.
