I had never seen a wine like this before nor tasted one. The beautiful light red color was complimented by an eggy scent. This wasn't the usual eggy stench that turns your head away it was muddled and smelled more of a yummy cooked egg. Some tropical fruits were also coming through but the smell was over all underwhelming. It hit the mouth with what I thought was a tingly numbing mouth feel. However, both Brandy and our new friend Chris thought it was more of a puckering feel. The taste had more of the tropical fruit hinted at in the smell. The pineapple came through really well complimented by the sweet acidity of the wine. I had no food with me but the acidity hinted at its capability to be paired with food. Perhaps some shell fish or other sea food would pair well with the rose.
What Others Say: This wine importer had much to say about this wines light fruit and citrus flavors. They specify the fruits as strawberry and orange. They also attest to how well the wine plays together. The finish has lemon and orange zest according to the critique.
