VC Review: Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rosé offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish. Focused and juicy
My notes: It is always nice to encounter wines that I haven't before, and this Tempranillo rose is definitely new for me. The nose was a little tight, but I could detect a definite floral component and some spice at the end of the sniff. The taste for me was a little citrus-orange-apricot leaning, but very clean. I could get a little spice, perhaps warm clove or nutmeg. Overall a nice clean wine for the spring, and with the weather changing and the 4 dollar price point, I bought a bottle. I'll probably crack it open very soon.
Food: n/a
