Tapas night. Fuller bodied style rose. Candied watermelon rind, ripe strawberries, slightly herbal, with nice acid.

A little bit tight - floral on the nose, some fruit comes through on the palate. Tasty.

Lil bubble-gummy for my taste, but pleasant enough. It has its place.

Semi expressive nose of some tangerine and a berry flavored cotton candy. The wine struggles a bit, leaving us with with orange rind, bitter almonds, an unbalanced palate, and forgettable finish. Even at a $13 retail for RRV fruit, I'd still pass.

i had this rose with the muhammara spread at aba and it was absolutely explosive. light grapefruit flavors enhanced the pomegranate and spice in the spread. it was absolutely delicious - amazing culinary pair!

Translucent ruby; lots of color for rose’.
Red cherry nose.
Soft viscous start. Medium-light acidity, almost flabby, with a very light hint of bitterness.
