Wine Review: This light coral colored wine made from mostly Valdiguie is a very good value. It opens with a mild watermelon bouquet with hints of red cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and round. The flavor profile is a pleasant and easy to drink mild watermelon and Shirley temple like blend with a hint of strawberry and guava. The finish is off-dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This Rose is very food friendly and will be a crowd pleaser. I would pair it with a Thanksgiving sandwich. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A luminous rose gold hue with warming peach undertones, this wine opens with bright scents of strawberry, barely ripe peach, fresh wildflowers and hard candy. Its flavors mirror its aromas, with additional notes of watermelon and a hint of banana. Entry features a pop of vibrant acidity, which evolves into a soft roundness. The taste of guava and mango add a tropical twist to the long, enticing finish.
