Winery Review: "SAVED Rosé is a pink wine for tough guys and gals. This delicate and ultra dry Rosé is crafted from a unique blend of varietals, carefully blended into one tiny batch of a few hundred cases."
My Review: This Rosé is crazy hot! And I don't mean in a good way...The alcohol content is 13.4% and it burns all the way down your throat. The nose was surprisingly "red" with a lot of dirty/soil aromas and a hint of flowers. The taste, from what I could get other than heat and acid, was floral and had a long finish, although not a pleasant one...It seems to me this wine was overworked and striving for high alcohol content, but it's very unbalanced and not at all smooth.
