Ontañón
Persephone Rioja Rosé Blend
La Rioja, Spain
The best rose I've had. Bright red fruit taste - strawberry, raspberry and a hint of orange.

Ok, Vino Volo seems to love "bright" rosés and I am comfortable with that description because the other options on their grid are "rich", "light", or "brooding"-- which is just a no for a good rosé. They have this one's flavor as "wild strawberry and lilacs" and my palette does not note lilacs by taste. I get a tart pomegranate and raspberry. But, like the endless search for a crossed-fingers emoji (how in the heck does THAT not exist), this is going to make you settle for something else because it is not exactly right.
