Label Tasting Notes: "This charming wine exalts fresh notes of strawberry and raspberry combined with a touch of sweetness."

Wine Folly Notes: This bottle certainly had the strawberry, as noted on the label, and maybe a little bit of honeydew. I didn't get any of the other flavors, and certainly not the citrus zest as this was more of a dessert wine. This is a blended rosé, as opposed to a bled rosé, and I really liked the variety of notes present. [WineFolly.com]

My Notes: I bought this wine for Valentine's Day to pair with dessert. After a nice dinner, we had some friends over (one friend pictured below with us), and make cookies and brownies to pair with the wine. By itself, I tasted the strawberry and definitely felt the sweetness, but the desserts brought out more of the sweetness and flavor of the wine.
