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. (Courtney & Erin Henderson, tonictoronto.com, Jan. 2013) Lusciously Sweet |
