Winery review: There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rose. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel. - Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes
My review: I was somewhat stumped when I first tasted this wine because the girl next to me said that she tasted pancakes. Soon, we discovered that she was probably tasting the caramel - or to her, maple syrup. Once this was established, the caramel flavor towards the end of the sip was very pronounced. I had written down, and distinctly remember this wine tasting extremely acidic in my opinion. I did enjoy this wine, there was just nothing familiar about it. That's a good thing, I think.
