The bright pink-colored 1998 Rose de Loire (crafted from 70% Grolleau and 30% Cabernet Franc) is a refreshing, smile-inducing, quaffing wine - exactly what Rose should be on a hot summer day. It reveals lively strawberry aromas, a light-to-medium body, and a dry, red fruit-filled, easy-going character. This wine should be drunk over the next 6 months while it is bright and flavorful.Importer: Fruit of the Vine, New York, NY; (212) 459-9703, and Pivotal, Inc., North Hollywood, CA; tel (818) 503-4290.
