Shop/Winery/Critic Review: “Delightfully fresh and casual, Chalkboard wines put a little sit-back-and-relax into your get-up-and-go. Delicate hints of lemongrass are balanced by subtle acidity and a palate bursting with bright, citrus flavors of lemon and zesty grapefruit. This wine is the perfect addition to a grilled halibut topped with mango avocado salsa.” Kroger, 2019
References of specific flavors/aromas/grape characteristics: This Rose blend with Merlot grapes has references of cherry, plum, chocolate, dried herbs, and vanilla. While tasting the wine, I definitely picked up on the plum and cherry. I did not get any of the chocolate, vanilla, or herbs. (Pg. 131)
My Review: Tasted without food. This Rose seemed to be semi-sweet to me, and also really citrusy. I tasted grapefruit and also a hint of peach. As I drank more of this Rose it seemed to be getting more dry, but I couldn't tell if it was just the tart of the citrus coming out. Definitely good for the price, but probably wouldn't buy again.
