Color: rose with very slight brown tinge. Smell: earthy, small overtones of fruit. Taste is slightly off balance, a little too sweet with odd finish. It is likely that this bottle went past its prime.

Very little on the nose, except for some strawberry. Palate is more strawberry, and some citrus - oranges? Low acidity and rather dry. Not too impressive. This should be consumed sooner rather than later.

Light and fruity and easy drinking summer quaffer. Lots of strawberry and watermelon on the nose. Crisp and slightly off-dry on the palate. Would definitely buy again.

Solidly dry. A bit of tingle. Dirty strawberry is the closest I can place the smell and taste, an earthy take on a wine that fools you with the color. Not sure I'd try again, but worth the experience.

Light flavor, tight nose hints that tastes of candied cherry/strawberry/watermellon like Jolly Ranchers. I thought it tasted better alone than with food, which is not what I was expecting. I wanted a good versitle grilled-food wine; for my palate this isn't it.

Not extremely sweet, but I wasn't expecting it to be. Good solid fruitiness, not terribly complex, but a delightful drinker on a warm late spring evening.

Light, refreshing. Hints of cherries and strawberry. Slight acidity keeps it from being too sweet. Easy to drink -- excellent on a warm summer afternoon. Solid enough to pair with food (went well with spaghetti in meat sauce).

Light red, not much on the nose - a little strawberry. Very pleasant upon drinking, sweeter seeming than the RS would indicate. Strawberry, raspberry flavors, but a little soft. Finish lingers a bit. More than OK for the price.

Who says you can't make a good rosé from Zinfandel? This is lush, yet crisp and dry, with fresh raspberry and spicy vanilla flavors. Drink now. 2,000 cases made. –TF

Deep color. A bit stinky over watermelon & strawberry aromas. Light, clean strawberry fruit flavors. Solid, although not very special.

Light, fruity, dry but not overly so. Simply put, a great inexpensive summertime drinking wine. Think outdoor BBQ...

Lots of fruit - quite dry, not sweet at all. Enjoyable on a 100 degree day, have not tried with food (yet).

Plain awful. Not sweet at all (like you'd expect from a Rose) and not smooth at all (like a nice red).
