Holiday Tasting in Constantia and Hemel-en-Aarde, South Africa; 12/18/2010-12/28/2010 (Western Cape, South Africa): Bloos is HPF least expensive offering at 57 rand (under $9) a bottle, but it's inexpensive provenance shouldn't take away from what is a pleasant quaffer. Both Ursula and I got cheese, maybe even cream cheese, on the nose, which isn't as weird as it sounds. The smell worked and got us ready for the lemony taste that lingered on the palate. Much less sweet than cheap rose that many folks are used to, but still easy-drinking. HPF says that the Bloos is a "5 Bordeaux variety Rose".
