This rose is full of berry on the nose that disappears when you drink it. In the berry's place, there's a citrus flavor that tastes like Fresca, except it's more pungent yet also more grounded. It's a velvety wine that is quirky, bright, and stony. I don't particularly like Fresca; I love this.

I’ve been wine tasting for years now, but I like to think I approach it from the average consumer’s perspective. I believe the average consumer can appreciate when a cabernet franc boasts deep flavors or that first effervescent sip of vinho verde conjures up delightful summertime memories. But more often than not, they just want an affordable glass of wine that tastes delicious while lounging by the TV.
