Creamy cherry earthy acid is a little low but nice balance - hate hate the plastic cork - doesn’t make a great seal

Very light - great for sipping, but seems to be overpowered when eating with it. A great wine to sit on the patio and sip on a hot evening.

Dark orangish red. Smells smells ripe. Also slightest of band-aid. Flavors are pretty expected for a Temp. Rosé. There is a hint of acid and some gravel/rock/mineral thing in there too. It’s a Rosé for the adventurous.

Layer cake of creamy strawberries, cantaloupe, and lime. Nice pop of flowers and vanilla shakes things up. Palate stays zingy and fruity with a creamy finish. Pairs with just about any dish. Cheers to Spring!

Strawberry on nose. Good acidity, good weight, nice fruit. Nice, everyday rose that’s heavier and stronger than provencal but not too hot and fruity like some US wines. but nothing that particularly jumps out.
