Tasting - Waterbrook Sangiovese Rose


Name: Waterbrook Sangiovese Rose
Variety: Sangiovese
Region: Washington
Country: U.S.A
Year: 2010
Price: $11.00 (VC Closeout Price: $5.95)

Critic Review: A crisp wine with rose bud and watermelon aromatics. This dry Rosé has bright flavors of strawberry, melon with balanced acidity and lingering raspberry notes on the finish. 

My Review: While there was a floral scent, the wine tasted similar to very earthy, leaves.  I did not find any notes of berry fruitiness as mentioned in the review above.  The aftertaste was like that of dirt.  This wine received a Wine Spectator rating of 89 (printed on Vintage Cellar tasting sheet), which demonstrated to me that I cannot purchase wines solely on rating.

I did not taste this wine with food.
