Year: 2021

Winery Review: (From online, in-store sheet attached below) crisp, fresh, and floral with bright acidity and aromas of rose petals. On the palate, it is supple and harmonious with flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus, with a smooth lingering finish.
Wine Folly: (https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/what-is-rose-wine/) finishes of red fruit, flowers, citrus, and melon. Pinot noir rose, specifically, is often crabapple, watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, and wet stone.
My Review: I got definite raspberry flavors first, and maybe light sweet cherry or pomegranate. It was very sweet up front and not dry like other roses I have tried. There were faint lemon/citrus flavors which tracks with the wine folly summary. This is my favorite rose I have tried, and I hope to find a full bottle on another discount wine day at Fresh Market. I really liked this rose (as did my mom, who was with me shopping). We happened to stop at Fresh Market during a tasting. I would've gotten a bottle, but they had already sold out of the Rose. I attached the information sheet they provided below.
