Wine Critic review: "Orange color, nose almost smells like a Chardonnay with butter and petrol notes, as well as wet stone; not a lot of fruit on the nose. Palate is similar... absence of citrus flavors but a presence of petrol and mineral notes as well as some light bubbles. Full bodied in nature. Finish is short. Interesting and drinkable but not amazing" (Review).
Wine folly book: pg. 88, 131 - Carbetnet sauvignon, with black cherry, black currant, cedar, baking spicies, graphite. Merlot including cherry, plum, chocolate, dried herbs, and vanilla. I noticed vanilla and black cherry the most.
My review: I really enjoyed this wine. I believe that Rose is my favorite type of wine, so I may be a little biased. The black cherry taste was delicious yet not too overpowering, and the vanilla aftertaste was smooth. Overall, this wine would go well with almost any meal and is a delicious snack alone or accompanied with anything.
