  Appearance: Bright and clear, medium (+) pink in color, with watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, medium (+) intensity and having developing aromas of ripe redcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, nutmeg, cloves and graphite.
  Palate: Dry with medium (-) acidity, the wine is of medium alcohol and medium body, showing medium intensity flavors of redcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, stony and slightly peppery , with medium (-) length.
  Conclusion: Good quality mid-priced US Rose with a good intense and reasonably complex nose of ripe currant and red fruit, supplemented by some spices. On the palate the acidity is a bit low yet still lively, with a balanced structure showing reasonably intense and complex flavors. The length is a bit short though, and with a salty finish. Ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.

  A "weighty" rose but still refreshing. Lots of lime and strawberry on the palate and nose. Best domestic rose I've ever drunk!

  This went really well with our simple Chinese dinner. Had a really nice strawberry and cranberry nose and palate. Not an overwhelming amount of acidity. Is doing well on its own after dinner.

  As others have mentioned, tart berry and lime on the nose. Initially, a little too bitter in the mouth, but after an hour it settled into a very nice ripe strawberry with crisp acid. Pleasing finish that lasts 20-30 sec. I should mention that Mr. Kapcsandy provided me with this bottle after discovering I had a corked 2006 Rose. This bottle was a reminder of why I enjoy their wines.
