Wine Shop Review: This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.
My Review: $1.95 a bottle. So far the cheapest wine we've tasted, but still not awful. I got a strawberry flavor on the nose, and other than that it was just kind of an alcohol flavor that were the most present. And it was 14.5% alcohol , so that was also something that was pretty noticeable in the taste. The cherry flavor was also noticeable, but not really powerful. For 1.95, we ended up buying a case....even though it wasn't necessarily our favorite. but it's cheaper than 40s, so we decided we would buy some.
Since we had a case of it, we had a chance to try it with some cheddar cheese, some feta cheese, and some Mediterranean blend of cheese. It softened the stronger alcohol flavors a bit, but still nothing special. not bad though...because it was $1.95.
