Vintage Cellar Review: This medium rose-colored rosado boasts a spicy red cherry/plum nose with a soft lush attack of red berry fruit flavors and a crisp dry finish. Simple and refreshing and a natural for tapas.
My Review: I love anything Tempranillo right now, like probably my favorite as of now, so I was definitely excited to taste something totally different from the typical deep red Tempranillos. Maybe it was my bias, but this Rose smelled like straight red wine and cherries. The sharp punch of red fruit flavor surprised me as it was extremely acidic and took me off guard. However it was nice, clean, and smooth tasting with nods to light red wine tastes. As someone who has solely been drinking red wine the past few weeks, it was a refreshing departure from the normal and very light compared to the heavier red wines I've been used to. Definitely recommended with that 2 dollar price tag too, like seriously that is unreal, especially with a strong alcohol content: its perfect for us struggling college students.
