Shop/ wine critic, winery review, tasting notes:

Description: Silvery pink color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry candies and scented candle with a bright, dry-yet-fruity light body and a smooth, brisk finish with no oak flavor. A simple, smooth and fruity Rose that hits the spot.

Customer Rating: 4 stars- a little dryer for a rose which I liked. 

My Review:

References of specific flavors, aromas, and grape varietal characteristics taken directly from the Wine Folly text: 

Based on the Wine Folly a Rose are meant to be "light with delicate flavors of fresh strawberry and a pink-rose colored hue." Page 134 This wine had that exact color and was light and fruity. 

My review:

Overall, I wasn't going into this with too much hope that this would be a decent wine based on the price. But, I was surprised as I smelled the wine I definitely can smell that it was sweet and fruity. When I tasted the wine it was alot more dry than expected for a Rose. It was sweet though and had the fruity taste like I smelled. It wasn't my favorite wine but it was a wine I was most surprised with based on trying it in this class because it wasn't a horrible quality.
