This is a great price for a blush wine of this quality and complexity. It’s very dry, yet with a fruity sweetness of strawberries and cherries. Wonderfully fresh and clean in vibrant acids, it’s hard to believe it was unoaked because it’s so creamy. ——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 87

My one non-Oz wine is this rose; it falls more into the “l(fā)ight red” than “pink-colored white” category, in terms of weight and flavor. Berry aromas have cream-nutty accents, while on the palate the berries take on earthy nuances. From Iron Horse, who are as adept at big reds as they are at sparklers, and continues to surprise us.——D.T.(11/15/2004)—— 86

Thin and simple, with modest strawberry flavors and a watery finish. It’s also soft and flabby. Iron Horse’s Pinot Noir blush wine, at the same price, is an incomparably better wine. ——S.H.(9/1/2003)—— 83
