"This wine is fresh, vibrant with aromas of strawberry rhubarb jam, Bing cherry, dried herbs, toasty vanilla bean on the nose. The flavors on the midpalate are cassis, strawberry coulis, pink grapefruit zest, gliding into dried cherry, cracked black peppercorn with a dry finish." - Wine Enthusiast
Boasting concentrated flavour while retaining the delicate nature that the varietal is known for, the bouquet opens with deep, rustic notes of cigar box and wild mushroom and develops gentle highlights of cranberry as it sits. On the palate, vivid black cherry notes up front lend a nice acidity and complement warm allspice undertones with mild tannins.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
