Rosé

The wine

Strawberry is the wine. Red currant sits beside it, a floral note lifts both, and the palate goes soft: slightly sweet, easy acidity, and a short berry-led finish. An easy Cabernet rosé.

The smell does not concentrate. Strawberry, currant, flowers. Pleasant, and not a handful of fruit.

Soft in the mouth. The sweetness is slight. The acidity is easy, refreshing without acting like structure. Berry stays the flavor. No peel, no bitterness, and no long echo. It ends short, still tasting of berry.

Well chilled, the strawberry stays fresh and the sweetness stays slight. Red currant keeps the strawberry from tasting like jam. Flowers keep it from tasting only like juice. A pink with a short close. Soft, sweet-leaning, and done quickly. A second sip is the same strawberry, the same easy acid, the same brief berry end. Drink it when an easy pink is the idea, and stop when the glass is empty. It will not grow more serious as it sits. The fruit you get at the start is the fruit you get at the end: strawberry, red currant, a little sweetness, easy acid, and a short berry close.
