The 2007 Marques de Caceres Rose offers an expressive bouquet of rose petals and cherry. Crisp, fruity, and well balanced, it should prove to be versatile with a wide range of foods. Drink this excellent value over the next 12-18 months.Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

Cotton candy and warm, dusty aromas give the wine pleasant, semisweet opening aromas. The palate is round and solidly formed, with creamsicle flavors and a bit of brown sugar or treacle. A good wine with just a touch of sweetness in the middle; must be a touch of residual sugar here.——M.S.(8/1/2008)—— 87
