For fans of sweet wine, this sugary rose will please, but fans of drier rose will find this to be a bit of a candy bomb. A blend of chardonnay (around 75%) and merlot (around 25%), it has aromas of peach and strawberry, and those flavors, combined with a bit of acidity, are playful on the palate. It's a basic wine but pleasant.——S.K.(2/1/2007)—— 83
