Wine Shop Review: There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rose. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.
My Review: Nice light pink color to this rosé, but I didn't care for the nose at all - to me it smelled like diapers, which is something I've experienced before with rosé wines. After the nose I wasn't looking forward to the tasting, and it was pretty much what I expected. It had a playground-wood chip and dirt flavor, so really not my thing. Of all the wine we tasted today, this was my least favorite.
I did not have food with this.
Diapers, wood chips, and dirt... that sounds pretty horrendous
