  I was really hoping to like this more, definitely not a light rose. Medium bodied, full juicy fruit profile. Not enough acidity to balance it. Better as it warmed and I wonder what temp they felt this drank best at. It's really not good at typical rose temp.

  Clear, bright and solid ruby color with raspberry hues. High concentration gives the wine a color that is reminiscent of a Pinot more than a rosé
  Fresh strawberries are inviting on the nose with aromas of flowers, cassis, raspberry, cream and watermelon.
  Full bodied for a rosé, this is not delicate. the palate gives way to flavors of raspberry, cherry candy, kirsch, fresh cream and strawberry lingering on a subtle spice and floralness on the back of the palate. The acidity is moderate and brightens the whole palate. the finish is medium in intensity and length.
