Really an intense style for a rose. This is bound to be a polarizing wine. Got a great deal on it and wish we'd have gotten a few more. Very assertive and even meaty on the nose along with strawberry and depth of body.

fruity, acidic. crys for ham or hot dogs - something salty. no nose to speak of, slightly stinky. flavors of cranberry and strawberry. took a while to open up.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over 1 hour --
NOSE: crisp red fruits; chalky hairspray; florals; a bit green; black dirt.
BODY: deep cherry red color; clear; [forgot to note weight of wine]
TASTE: drying chalky minerality; strawberries and cranberries; rubber tire; a bit hot; 30 sec. finish. This is one of the better roses i've had. Very dry, with very little r.s.. Handles its high alc. (14.7%) very nicely.
B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 7 = 88

Reddish orange color. Strawberry nose. Tastes of cherry, raspberry and orange. Crisp and refreshing. Slight alcoholic finish.
