Drank at Earth, Wind & Fire concert at Botanic Gardens. It was a hot night and this was an ok bottle, but will be my last. The wine looks Pink colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Strawberry, and Red Currant. It tastes like Strawberry, Raspberry, and Red Currant. The body is Light. The wine has Coarse texture. The wine finishes Short.

A nice dry rose with a bit of body and complexity.

2008 vintage

Almost pink in colour. Muted nose. Flavours of candied raspberry, and parmigiana but not sweet. Decent finish and a good dose of acid. Excellent rosé.

2008 vintage

light red in color, nose is not intensive, thin-bodied and dry, quite monotonic

2008 vintage

Crisp with strawberry and nice tartness

2008 vintage

Raspberry juice color. Typical Chilean red wine nose, in a lighter, fresher version. Massive fruit and sweetness with good acidity. Long finish. Closer to a light red than a rose, suitable for meat meals on hot summer days.

Jess didn't like this one at all and gave it a 75. It's a dry, crisp rose with enough acidity to pair great with food...

Good dark color in this Rose, no doubt the Syrah influence. The nose is bright red berry and floral notes. This is a sweeter rose, but the acidity helps make it a nice pairing with Sushi and Salmon. Nice overall, but I prefer a slightly drier breed of Rose.

2008 vintage

Very nice acidity with berry flavors. A little heavier/darker than the average rose - not quite as refreshing in hot weather, but better wine than the average rose

2008 vintage

Really nice rose with great tart strawberry nose and crisp, dry taste with a well integrated midpalate

2008 vintage

On the darker pink side of a Rose. The nose is butter covered red strawberries and raspberries. The palate shows tart red fruit with a nice focused acid on the center of your tongue. The finish somewhat mutes the tart tangy profile with a lingering hint butteriness. The weight of this wine is heaver than other Rose I have had. On their web site, Montes says they use no oak, so my guess is that the malolactic fermentation gave it …

Decanter New World Fine Wine Encounter (The Royal Lancaster Hotel, London W2) : Made from 100% Syrah, this rose shows intense berry fruit on the nose. The palate shows blackcurrant and sweeties. Dry and clean. Finished with a sparkly acidity.

Still a versatile, drinkable, food-friendly wine. Thumbs up!

2008 vintage

really excellent rose. just what it should be.

2008 vintage

Surprisingly good wine, and a great value. Cranberry and strawberry are apparent both in the nose and glass, backed with rather a lot of acid. This went very well with a wide variety of foods, and should be an easy drink with dinner.

Yum, Yum

2008 vintage

Very nice wine. Easy drinking, very fruity. Good price to quality ration, especially with Costco pricing. Will make an excellent summer wine. And you gotta love the sweet artwork by Ralph Steadman.

very fruity syrah. they say its the "rose of syrah". there were definitely a lot of rose notes along with strawberry and a smooth texture to it. Good blush wine, but too light a dinner wine for my taste.

2008 vintage

Big, dark rose. Great nose of Bright cherries and watermelon. Intensely flavored with cherries coming through all the way. Bright acidity and nice lift to it that makes this a wonderful wine for summer.

2008 vintage

Aroma: delightful strawberry mixed with straw; Taste: light bright fruit with a pleasing mineral aspect, full mouth feel and long, pleasant finish. More substantial than the funny cherub on the label implies. Excellent value for money ($10 at Costco).
