Salmon colored, with forward aromas of dust, earth, spice and red fruits. The palate is nicely decorated with cherry notes and brown sugar, while the finish moves quickly from fruit to vanilla and cream soda. Nice but a touch confected.——M.S.

This rosado is sweet on the nose, with aromas of candied berries. Surprisingly, it’s tart and monotone in terms of flavor, although the strawberry and cranberry fruit is fresh as a whistle. Mild pepper and spice elements add kick to the finish. ——M.S.

The color is an odd orange, which should come as an indicator that not all is right with this wine. The bouquet starts with dust on a warming radiator, and there's some vanilla as well. Soft citrus and nectarine flavors work the palate, followed by a round but somewhat mushy finish.
