Early exit polls suggest that 2007 is a good year for Chilean rose. Or maybe it’s just that Chile is figuring out how to make rose after never having made it prior to a year or two ago. Whatever the case, this is perfectly balanced and tasty. The nose is full and flush, with weight but no granular, overripe aromas. And the palate is juicy and pulses with raspberry and plum flavors. Nice and ready to go.——M.S.(5/1/2008)—— 87

Very red in color, with thick, sweet aromas of red licorice and rhubarb pie. The palate is undefined, with bland, generic flavors of berry skins and melon. The feel is standard and healthy, with a tingle. Seems to be fading.——M.S.(3/1/2008)—— 83
