LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
TASTING NOTE: A very pretty rose colour with aromas of red apples, cherry and strawberry. Flavours of red berry, baked apple, white pepper and fresh herb. A touch of heat on the finish, but nice acidity keeps things fresh. Very enjoyable especially with chocolate desserts.
