Strawberry shortcake nose. Strawberry palate with secondary notes of watermelon and raspberry. Touch of spice on the medium finish. Enjoyable, would buy again.

Started off with a sharp, even sour note, but that mellowed dramatically through the bottle. Fruity, straightforward, very much not subtle, a "lawnmower wine" if ever one could exist.

Sort of an aged, briney salmon color. Fresh strawberry nose. Medium bodied, tart raspberries, dirty cranberries, decent acid, and a medium finish. There is a slight astringency/bitterness that's not very pleasant. Good with food, though.

nose: smells like it will be very acidic; also, old-lady floral perfume. Very smooth. Oily mouthfeel. Light and refreshing/quaffable. Don't taste much except alcohol. A subtle note of watermelon jolly rancher candy.

Enjoyed at slightly above fridge temp after being open for an hour. It's a rose blend of 6 different red grapes so I was unsure of what to expect. Color is ruby with a bit if copper in the edges. It's of medium color depth and clear. The nose was a muted strawberry and I suspected it was the temp. The wine feels young still but I'm not sure how it will age.
It's very fresh, light bodied, and dry but comes across as well balanced. As the wine warmed I got some additional flavors primarily raspberry and a slight herbaceousnes. A medium finish with a round note on the tongue.
We enjoyed it with ham hoc soup and it seemed to accompany it nicely.

Nice floral nose, enough fruit on the palate to give a slight impression of sweetness without being sweet. Crisp and light, not to acidic. Nice just by itself.

Seems like the sweet spot for this wine, temperature-wise, is probably around 55° F., i.e., pull the bottle/carafe out of the fridge about a half-hour in advance. Nice bright crisp fruitiness, would work in a whole lot of food situations where a dry white would be appropriate, but it's also just dandy for drinking qua drinking.

Still drinking very well. Still full of crisp strawberry goodness. Killer with chicken and pasta with a creamy alfredo / florentine sauce.
