August 22, 2013 - I mostly drink heavier reds, but when this one came up on Wine.Woot, I thought it might be nice for hot summer evenings on the patio.
Never been particularly well-known for my color sense but to me it looks more orange or peach-colored than pink. Starting with it chilled, nose has strawberry and something tart, maybe kiwi-ish. There's also a floral scent in there that I can't identify. Taste is less fruity/sweet than I expected from the nose. Still strawberry in there, but more watermelony -- juicy and subtly sweet. There's something heavier in the finish, coffee or unsweetened cocoa maybe. It's not distracting -- just balances the sweet.
It will be a nice one for the back patio at the new house. May try it with spicy skewered shrimp or some jalapeno Tex-Mex.1,170 views
