Winery Review: "This delightful salmon-pink wine is produced using the traditional saignée process. After macerating on the skins for approximately 10 hours, the juice is then pumped off and fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aromatics of strawberries and crushed red fruit leap from the glass. In the mouth, it is fresh with excellent acidity, some mineral components and good length. Very food friendly, it is a great companion to just about anything you want to throw at it."
My Review: This Rose was dryer than most I've had, which was good because too much sweetness could have overwhelmed it. Both the scent and taste were very floral and a bit fruity. It also had a pleasantly full body, more than any of the last few wines I reviewed.
