My Review: Overall, this is one of the better roses that I've tried. I thought it was very well-balanced and leaned on the drier side. It was very light and fresh, probably best served with a dessert but I didn't pair it with any food. I got floral hints and tasted a little bit of peach. I also think I tasted a little bit of grapefruit, but for $10 this wine exceeded my expectations. Next time, I think I will opt for a rose that pairs well with a dessert. I will say that it had a higher alcohol percentage than I had anticipated -- it was at 14.5% which is higher than most wines I opt for.
