This bright pink rose is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, and its varietal makeup shows in its slightly herbal aromas and flavors. But there's also plenty of watermelon and cherry-berry fruit. It's a fruit-forward wine that's not simply fruity, with the herbal notes lending freshness to the finish.——J.C.(7/1/2007)—— 87
