In the Glass

Appearance

Brilliant, deep ruby color.

Aromatics

The aromatics are very intense offering scents of red plum and raspberry with supporting notes of pomegranate, orange peel, and slate.

Flavor

The palate confirms the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of strawberry and hibiscus flower. The finish is long and lingering with trailing tart red fruits.

Intensity & Texture

Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant yet juicy texture.

Cool Factor

What's more cool in the spring and summer months than a wonderful and expressive Rosé? We love everything about this wine.

Value Grade

B+

Scarcity (fewer than 200 cases made), superb quality, and a modest price of just $25 add up to a great value in our book.

Analysis

The color may shock you as it's nearly as deep ruby red as a Beaujolais. The Red Hills Cellars Rosé drinks like the most refreshing red wine that you have ever had. It's made with 100% Grenache — a varietal that is capable of making outstanding Rosé wines. Both the aromatics and the palate are filled with generous, ripe fruit notes while maintaining perfect balance thanks to an equally generous dose of acidity. The only complain that we had is that this wine does not come in a bottomless bottle!

How to Enjoy

Serve chilled and pair it with almost anything especially spicy foods. A chili gilled chicken, curry, or spicy bbq are all great choices.
