Eric Kent Wine Cellars Rosé

An exceptional rose. The light red color reflects the syrah content. The palette shows a bright acidity with complex fruit. A perfect accompaniment to a summers day. Well done Kent.

has not improved. Candied. Not dry. Not my favorite year for this wine.

Tasty stuff...very prominent acid on this one.

Pretty good rose. A bit cloudy. Nice balance between dry and not too sweet. GOOD.

This decidedly different Rosé is a near equal blend of Syrah and Pinot Noir (no kidding), which offers aromas and flavors of watermelon, rhubarb, leather and earth. If tasted blind, (literally), I might think that I was imbibing a lighter-bodied, Mourvedre-based blend. With the possible exception of a Mordoree Rosé that I had the privilege of tasting last year, this is one of the best pinks that I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. Alas, the cream-infused finish comes …

Spot-on with a gorgeous package and an appealing flavor profile. Flavorful without being over the top nor overly sweet. Yet you still know it's a California rosé. Really well done.

Not my favorite year for this wine, which I normally like quite a lot. Prefer the dryer, paler style of previous years. This lacked the minerality I've enjoyed previously. That said, I often like the roses a bit more around Thanksgiving time, so will give it another go then.

A big California-style rose, love it. Will buy every year. 14.1% ABV, 338 cases

We likes this, restrained initially, but really opened up in the glass after moving to room temperature. Not sweet at all - a very nice rose. GOOD.

Great quaffer. Wanted something light to drink and decided to pop this early. I wish I had more than two bottles. Beautiful color - a deep salmon with just a tinge more red in it. The nose explodes with watermelon, strawberries, spice, and a noticeable bit of oak. On the palate there is enough minerality and acid to make easy to drink. Best part: it made me forget it is still winter in Chicago.
