Shop/wine critic/winery review: A delicate, slightly bubbly pale pink wine. Fresh strawberry and cherry aromas. Light bodied with red fruit flavors and a refreshing sparkle to balance the semi-sweet finish.
My review: This wine smelled very sweet with flavors of raspberry, orange peel, and apple juice. This tasted very sweet and refreshing like apple juice. This is definitely a very sweet wine that would go well with dessert!

Tasting—Schwartz

Name: Schwartz Rose Variety: Grenache, Mouvedre Region: Barossa Country: Australia Year: 2015 Price: $6.95 Shop/wine critic/winery review:  Made from a blend of Grenache and Mataro, this pale pink rosé is definitely a wine to enjoy with friends.  Perfectly pale pink in colour with soft strawberry and elements of musk and perfume.  The palate shows a macerated strawberry component that makes for a great point of interest coupled with a broad red fruit spectrum. My review: This rose wine smelled floral and sweet and had a light mouthfeel. Unfortunately, I did not like this wine--I thought it tasted like cheap liquor. It had an aftertaste that can only be described as...cheese.  I had this without tasting food.

Tasting—Tres Ojos

Name: Tres Ojos Variety: Garnacha Region: Calatayud Country: Spain Year: 2013 Price: $6.95 Store/wine critic/winery review: Bright purple. Blackberry, plum and peppery spice aromas exhibit good vibrancy and power. Firm cherry and dark berry flavors are subtly accented by a peppery nuance, picking up a hint of licorice with air. A candied plum note lingers on the warm finish, which is firmed by gentle tannins. My review: This wine smelled very sweet and spicy—it was jammy with plums with subtle touches of oak. The wine itself tasted very oaky and smoky, it had the taste of berries and cherries. It had some tannins but was not overpowering. It had a smooth finish. I tasted this wine without food.
