Appearance:
A pale salmon pink with an orange tinge.
Nose:
Complex and powerful, the first aromas are reminiscent of strawberry jam. These are followed by floral notes such as rose petal.
Taste:
Lively and crisp, with dominant flavors of red berry fruit such as wild strawberries. Full-bodied, with a velvety texture and a finale showing hints of dried apricots and orange peel.
Wine Spectator 90 points - Rich and supple, this rosé displays the warm, sun-drenched notes of late summer, with dried fruit, forest floor and citrus. Doesn't have the persistence of the best on the finish, where there's a chalky feel. Drink now through 2012. –BS (Nov 30 2007)
