I just had to pop this pink for Easter...actually it's an aussie screwtop so technically didn't pop it. Anyway, this is fantastic stuff. Brilliant color. Strawberries dominates the nose. Enough acidity to make your mouth water and a very pleasant, simple, dry finish. You think this wine is going fruity/sweet with the strawberries up front but this is a wonderful, dry rose. Rose's are usually a great value anyway, but this one is an exceptional QPR at $13.

Still great next spring... Richly tart acidity withy great berry fruit wakes the whole mouth up! A winter's age seems to have brought out a slight minerality I don't remember from last year. My only wish would be for this to be more like the $10-12 most roses are vs the $16 or so it sells for around here.

An absolutely scrumptious Rosé! 64% Grenache, 19% Shiraz, 11% Cabernet, 6% Dolcetto. Moderately dry with plenty of juicy, delicious, enjoyable fruit. Great candy pink color. The fruitiness is wonderfully complex with cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and even some orchard fruit. If this wine doesn't make you happy on a warm summer's evening, I feel sorry for you. 12.5% alco (D 5.5, F 7; American Estate)

Terroir-istes International - Rose-France, Australia & South Africa (Rodwell House): Grenache-led blend, the wine has a salmon pink colour with bright aromas of pepper and fresh red fruits in a Tavel style. Ripe with piercing acidity, there is plenty of pepper sprinkled on strawberries and some Bing cherries.

Very pretty crisp, juicy red berries. Good tangy finish, with a hint of strawberries at the end. Enjoyable.
