Critic Review: 88 points - Stephen Tanzer. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink. Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge. Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of orange zest.
My Review: I really enjoyed the nose on this wine. It smelled of citrus fruit along with a little spice. I got the idea that this wine would be very refreshing. The taste was a little more bitter than I expected, but it was very refreshing. The aftertaste was a little bit funky because it had much more spice than I expected from a rose wine.
Overall, I enjoyed this wine. It was different from a lot of lighter colored wine I've had, and I appreciated its differences.
