It’s summer, which means Rose’. I have recently started to enjoy and understand a bit more about this style of wine so when I saw one made from Cabernet Sauvignon- I had to try. It is a much deeper shade of reddish pink than most Rose’ wines, probably a longer maceration with the skins to give it the color. On the nose it is quite fresh with strawberry, citrus, almond and pear coming through. On the palate this chilled wine is delicious. Lemon, blood orange and strawberry are my initial tastes. It has a touch of acidity that refreshes the palate beautifully. The reddish fruit (Strawberry and blood orange) carry through the mid palate. The transition to the finish is seamless with the addition of some pear and more lemon zest. It leaves the gums pleasantly tingling with some acidity and that lingering blood orange tinge. A really yummy summer quaffer that will refresh while preparing dinner or go great with Salmon, salad or grilled garlic chicken. Drink till 2022. 89 points and 5 stars for this $12 effort. PS. I’m a fan of Mulderbosch wines and this one did not disappoint. Salut….
