Very pale cherry pink in color, the 2011 Rose is a blend of 61% Grenache, 22% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Dolcetto. It gives aromas of wild strawberries, cherries and black pepper with a hint of underbrush. Light to medium-bodied and dry, it has a refreshing backbone of acid lifting the peppered cherry flavors, finishing medium-long. Drink this one now to 2014.
