Pale salmon in color with a mild nose. On the mid palate the wine displays crisp dry minerality, some red fruits, mild strawberry and the like. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice crisp citrus and minerality along with a hint of tartness, like cranberry. Not a bad Rose, -88 or so. Won’t be displacing my favs, but nice anyway. From the LCBO website, check stock:
