Variety: Pinot Noir, Gamay, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, and Syrah
Region: California (Sonoma County)
Price: $13
Winemaker's Notes: The broad array of red grapes used in the Korbel Sweet Rose blend give us an incredibly diverse selection of blending alternatives. Varieties like Pinot Noir, Gamay and Zinfandel give us light bright wines with high levels of acidity. The Sangiovese is more intensely aromatic, while the syrah contributes a deeper color and more tannin for body and richness.
My Review: It wouldn't have been a celebration without some bubbly and of course there were multiple bottles to pass around in honor of the happy couple! It smelled really girly, with floral and perfumey aromas mixing together making for an overall sweet experience. I never understood what perfumey meant until smelling this wine and a good benchmark to get that smell profile. However, I was not mad about that and dove straight in. The taste definitely followed up with that and had sweet and fruity tastes to it. The bubbles added a nice acidity it needed and rounded out the entire drink and hints of raspberry kept you even more interested in it. Guys should not be swayed by its fruity color and smell and definitely imbibe on this due to its awesome drinkability.
