This wine is nearly neon, the salmon pink-orange is so deep and rich. Its nose smells of strawberries and an overlay of herbal notes. It's not quite like Provence, but it's close. The dry palate is gorgeous, full of that bushel basket of strawberries and an earthy quality on top. The acidity is rather gentle so sipping it is recommended. However, it will pair nicely with salads and snacks.

Oct 3rd, 2018Sweet nose, not much discernible flavour. A touch of raspberry, prickly finish. Average.

Jun 2nd, 2018@VillaMariaWines 2016 Private Bin Rosé (SRP $15): Made from predominantly Merlot, this rosé is indicative of Hawke's Bay warmer climate. Medium watermelon in color, it’s fruit-driven with flavors of ripe strawberries and hard red candy underscored by fresh, brisk acidity. This is a nice bottle to have poolside, in the picnic basket, or at the beach. It is also a good match for barbeque; the fruit intensity and hint of sweetness will work well with both sweet and moderately spicy sauces.
