Tasting - Oveja Negra Syrah-Cab Rosé Reserva



                



Name:  Oveja Negra Syrah-Cab Rosé Reserva
Variety:  Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Did not Specify
Country: Chile 
Year: 2010
Price: $7

Winery review:  Oveja Negra Reserva Rosé is bright cherry-red in color and has an attractive nose with aromas of raspberries and strawberries as well as plum and a bit of green apple. Crisp and juicy on the palate with a slight sweetness that accompanies the red fruit flavors. Pleasing natural acidity with medium-high intensity, nice persistence, and a fresh finish.


My review: Really picked up on the advertised strawberry nose, along with a floral background. This followed with flavors of a tart green apple and strawberry. I was surprised at the sweetness in this wine, if only because most rose wines I have had were generally dryer and more tart. I really appreciated the flavors introduced in this wine.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
