The color of this rosé is almost like bourbon, a nearly burnt orange that tends more to brown. It doesn't look much like rosé, and it doesn't smell that way, either. First whiff, I get an earthiness that borders on foxiness, as in wines made from North American grape varieties. Strawberry with an intense mineral overlay takes over. The palate offers plenty of cheerful fruit and earthy minerals but little acidity, which is reportedly an issue with Agiorgitiko grown in lower altitudes. Ios is not what most American consumers would expect in a rosé, but more adventurous souls won't be disappointed

Found this to be a nice rose blend. Also, I loved the color which was a bright, almost fuschia color. Would make a great lipstick or nail polish color, but I disgress.....definite worth trying!
