Bright and lively, this light-boded rosé is fresh and crisp, with berry, grapefruit and spice flavors that sing on the palate. A bit tart, but very refreshing. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Pla del Bages Select to Add

Not one of Abadal’s best wines, this 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Sumoll rose is a touch flat on the nose, with tea and medium-sweet cherry flavors. It’s big on the tongue but also sort of dull and pithy. Must be the Cabernet that makes it a little heavy.——M.S.(6/1/2008)—— 84

This Catalonian winery is proving itself year after year, wine after wine. Abadal's dry Cabernet-based rosado starts with sweet strawberry and raspberry aromas, while next up you get pure, enticing watermelon, nectarine and raspberry flavors. Too bad you missed it over the summer but it's still healthy enough to drink before the 2006 arrives.——M.S.(2/1/2007)—— 88
