Winery Review: This mouthwatering rosé is a traditional blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. It's medium-bodied, boasting notes of fresh herbs, cherries and white chocolate, balanced by a hints of sea spray. Drink it over the next year.

My Review: This rosé smelled both acidic and vinegar-like to me. It tasted pungent, like straight up ethanol. I did not get any notes of fresh herbs or white chocolate. I did get a hint of cherry, but it was minimal. This wine was very dry to me, so it was mouthwatering in a bad sense. I did not like this wine.

I did not drink this wine with food.
