First off I am not a fan of Rose’ bubbly for some reason
maybe it reminds me of the old Cold Duck wine my parents would drink. What the hell is Cold Duck! I think there was a wine called that – dose anybody
remember that? Red wine mixed with
Champagne? Please post
Appearance: raspberry blush and bursting bubbles
Aroma: I am staying with the raspberry theme; hint of
raspberry
Flavors: nice touch of sweet cherry and raspberry with a
hint of sweet crisp apple.
Mouthfeel: plenty of effervescence to go around here; sweet
red berries linger on the palate – strawberry like.
To the Point: a tasty bubbly, good with a berry dish – maybe
a raspberry chipotle chicken meal or a raspberry cobbler dessert. How about adding a little color to a
Champagne toast. For an inexpensive bubbly – pretty good here.
