"DATE: 08-24-07 Appearance: Salmon / cranberry.
Nose: Strawberry, cherry/plum and grapefruit.
Palate: Dry with moderate to good acidity, light to midweight. Palate nicely follows the nose, with some richness and softness added to light tannins on the midpalate. Good clean finish.
Conclusions: Fruit/acid/alcohol are balanced to the food side of the Rose equation here, and this wine could last two to three years in a good cellar. But there is no point to ageing this, as its appeal lies in the fruity food-friendliness of the wine. Ageing would make it heavier and more complex, less food friendly. Try this with light summery foods, or drink it alone. Nicely done." lfw

Man that's one big bottle!!FOOD MATCHES: Chef Franklin said "lovely lightly chilled for a picnic of freshly baked baguette topped with just off the vine tomatoes, a sliver of sheep’s milk cheese and a slice of proscuitto. Fine with lighter game – especially roasted birds with a reduction of stock enriched with berries and butter."

FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Fresh aromas of strawberry and raspberry dominate, while a hint of citrus lingers in the background for a fresh, crisp taste. This Rosé is nicely balanced with a slight touch of rose petal sweetness on the finish, making it a perfect match for summer barbeques or for sipping on its own.ing it a perfect wine to enjoy with friends!"
