First rose' of the season, not a great start. THere are no pronounced flavors on the nose or upon tasting. Nice acidity, but when that is all there is, it does not make you want to drink more. Will await the 2nd day report.

Appearance like cherry kool-aid ~ Rather muted nose but strawberries & cream, some cherry & mandarin oranges ~ Dry, moderate to high acidity & slightly tannic, on the palate theres strawberry & cherry just like it's aroma but theres a minerality that streaks through this wine as well ~ A food friendly patio pounder that's outstanding value

Didn't pay much attention to it, but it was a rose with decent weight to stand up to the pasta dish, touch of heat on the back end left it a bit out of balance, but chilled down a bit more that would've been ok, probably. Strawberries and orange blossoms (to steal a good descriptor!) for sure.

Twist and pour, and after 10 hr in the fridge with vacu-cork. Light nose of orange blossom and strawberry. In the mouth mild flavors of strawberry with a slight steel acidity and slightly bitter bite fading in the finish. Dryish. 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache, 10% syrah. 13.5% abv. Body medium, acid medium or lower. Just OK QPR at USD 6. Missing some of the high notes to distinguish itself. Not bad but probably will seek other roses at this price point.
