  This wine is a really light brick color, almost the color of a pink grapefruit. Alc is at 13.5%, slowly forming legs. Also smells of grapefruit, raspberries, and wet soil/gravel. On the palate, the wine is actually medium bodied with a bit of a gripping acidity, and the tannins are fine with a soft mouthfell. There is still a nice citrus fruit flavor medley, including that same grapefruit and raspberries, as well as lemon/lime, and a nice finish, keep you salivating for another drink. I had hoped this wine wasn't OTH, and I'm glad it was still holding up rather nicely. Refeshing for a 100 degree heat wave!

  Nice strawberry notes on the nose, good mouthfeel with nice grip from the acids. Great with poultry.

  A solid easy to quaff rose. A nice bit of strawberry and a little tart acid on the finish keep it from cloying. Nice to enjoy in the summer with shellfish or even barbecued pork. Serve well chilled.
