Kim Crawford Rosé 2017

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandA glowing peach orange hue, this wine is affectionately referred to as Pansy, though it no longer has space on the front label. Merlot is scented with one percent syrah, all from Hawkes Bay. Full bodied and slicked with glycerol, this was direct press, reflective of its deep salmon hue and punchy assertiveness. Ripe melon, strawberry jam, watermelon, mandarine rides the palate to a lightly spiced, peppery finish. With a wee bump of sugar to make this extra crowd pleasing, this is best chilled and ready for this summer's sunshine.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
