Winery Review: “Back in Walla Walla, WA for a short night. Always nice to come back here! Ate at Brasserie four…great resto! This 2020 rosé from 🇪🇸 is a nice summer sipper that shows aromas of red berries. It’s dry with notes of strawberries, citrus along with a nice mineral touch and an acidity that’s pleasant. Again, a simple summer sipper, not much depth to it, that went well with my salade niçoise nonetheless. 3.4” – Yann Irlinger

 

Wine Folly: “Primary flavors include Strawberry, Honey Dew Melon, Rose Petal, Celry, and Watermelon”

I could definitely taste notes of strawberry while tasting this wine, and it was the first flavor that came to my head. Potentially notes of watermelon as well.

 

My Review: A very fruity smell with the main scent being dominated by orange juice and citrus. At the end I could smell a bit or green apple which made this wine seem a bit tart. Despite smelling so fruity; however, this wine did not taste particularly sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I could taste a lot of fruit, mainly strawberry, but the overall flavor was very mild with little sweetness. It was a bit one note and didn’t seem like a particularly complex or exciting flavor.  Overall, this wine was very smooth, and enjoyable and I could definitely see myself enjoying a few more glasses of it with dinner.

Tasted on its own without food.
