Dark color and big body compared to most rose's. Has thick texture and a little heat from the 14.8% alcohol. When paired with a honeybaked ham, it really accentuated the strawberry fruit and came across almost sweet, even though it seemed quite dry by itself. A very good rose, especially at the blowout price of $11 I got this for.

This has softened up over the past year. More flowery and perfumy than I recall. Flavors are more subdued as well. The test will come with the food we are about to enjoy it with.

One of the darkest rose's I've seen. Deep nose filled with rich, dark and even candied fruits and for a rose' had a long finish and a round mouthfeel with intense fruit notes. This wine has complexity and richness similar to a fully extracted red wine while still being crisp and refreshing staying true to rose' form. Simply the best rose' I've come across.

Dark garnet red and light muted nose of red berries and maybe some cranberry. Fruit texture did not seem as frim as before, pleasant still but it just did not have the vibrancy that I remember. Time to drink up...

Still drinkin nice after all these years. The fruit is there. Would like even more if the alcohol wasn't. Very pleasant, however.
