Winery Review: Rose wine with fresh and fruity flavors. Notes of melon and berry in a slightly sweet rose wine. Perfectly paired with fresh fruit and great friends!

Wine Folly: Once again, there is no dedicated section for Sangria in Wine Folly. However, this is a highly sweet wine, which means that there is 72+ calories per serving, according to Wine Folly, noted in page 16. This is the calories per 5 oz. or 150 ml. serving. Color intensity is that of a rose, which simply means that the wine was macerated in grape skins for a certain amount of time, according to page 25 in Wine Folly. This wine is also a bit on the acidic side, which contributes to a lighter body, according to page 20 in Wine Folly.
My Review: This was a TERRIBLE wine. It tasted like cough syrup, and I'm not exaggerating. By far the worst wine I have tasted, and luckily it was only $6. It was a very light bodied wine with fruity flavors. I detected melon and berries, but it mainly just reminded me of cough syrup. The wine's flavor hit first, and then a wave from the alcohol afterwards - the finish lasted for a while, longer than you would expect from a light bodied wine.. It is a unique wine, but definitely one that I would not want to try again. It was see through red - just like a rose.
