Review:
On nataliemaclean.com, I found a review of this wine and she gave it a 92/100. Large emphasis on the Grenache and has vibrant aromatics. Dry, but "keeps zesty acidity" when paired with food. Bottle was also very beautiful, which was a plus.

Wine Folly:
Grenache has high intensity flavors with red fruit flavors (pg 117). I kind of got pink grapefruit. Rosés tend to have more acidity, and I definitely got that from this wine. It is recommended to use a glass with a smaller bowl in order to get nose closer to the aroma, and this rosé smelled very fresh (pg 39).
My Review:
I did not decant before tasting the wine, but I let the rosé chill in the fridge for 30-45 minutes. At first, I drank it without pairing it with food so I thought it tasted bitter and dry, but I started eating french onion dip and chips, and everything started tasting a lot less acidy. I do not think I would drink this again though because for some reason, my skin flipped out, but if that was not the case, I would maybe buy it again.
