Review found online: One reviewer described it as "simple on the nose with just candied strawberry and perhaps a little raspberry." They also suggested that it sits somewhere off-dry. They mentioned how rosés of this nature are ideal for wine drinkers who are new to wine, so I'm glad I gravitated towards it.
Wine Folly references: This wine is primarily Zinfandel, which is described as a fruit-forward yet bold red, loved for its jammy fruit and smoky, exotic notes (Pg. 189). It is also 20% Grenache, which produces rich, flavorful red wines as well as deep-ruby tinted rosé (Pg. 117). Lastly, it is 5% Pinot Noir, the world's most popular light-bodied red, loved for its red fruit and spice flavors that are accentuated by a long, smooth, soft-tannin finish (Pg. 150).
My review: This wine was a perfect pick for my taste; I wish I had tried it sooner! I really enjoyed this wine, and I would purchase it again. The first flavors I picked up on were very fruity and tart, almost like a grapefruit with a bit of lemon. As I sipped it, I tasted more berry, particularly strawberry, but still pretty tart. I felt like this wine was a bit dry but still sweet, and less dry than other rosés I have tried before. I also had this wine by itself with no food pairings. Overall, I felt that it was a very refreshing wine that tastes great on its own.
