Wine Review: This medium salmon colored Rose made from Malbec is a very good value. It opens with a red raspberry and maraschino cherry bouquet with hints of tangerine. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, rounded and fresh. The flavor profile is similar to the nose, featuring red raspberry, saline, and maraschino cherry flavors along with notes of gentle minerality and watermelon. There is also a hint of white pepper at the very end. The finish is refreshing. This good value and crowd-pleasing Rose would pair perfectly with the beach in the summer. Serve it slightly chilled and share with friends. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Fresh, dry, and delicate, with aromas and flavors of strawberry and gooseberry leading to a balanced palate and crisp finish. Pair with grilled fish, fresh greens, or chicken.
