Winery review: Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.

My review: This wine was smoky on the nose. It actually smelled like toast.  Initially and on the mid-palate it was dry and fruity. The finish was clean.  This was a solid wine--nothing special though.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
