Tasting:

She said: Pale apricot color, clear, sparse thin slow moving legs. Lots of floral and tropical fruit scents greet the nose and lead to a taste that is smooth, full of flavor with a spicy note and touch of creaminess. The finish was long and ended with a slightly tart taste. Delicious rosé and I would buy again, but it is not a inexpensive at $27.
Comments:
Guest comments: Right from the start it had a pleasant bouquet and a refreshing flavor that lasts well after finishing a delicious lunch featuring grilled hot dogs with caramelized onions. Rich, spicy and a creamy finish. Noted a peppery taste. Delicious!
