Mulderbosch Rose 2012

I am a fan of just about all of the Mulderbosch wines, but this rose has become a real favorite. Crisp and clean well defined. Great food wine.

My first CabSauv Rose and my first South African wine. Subtle, strawberry nose with next to no hints of alcohol or vinegar. Color is a deep pink, like one would expect from a fruit punch. The wine is crisp, with a significant fizziness at first, giving way to tones of strawberry and pomegranate with a pronounced herbal quality that I recognize from red cabernet sauvignons I've had in the past. Not as fruity and sweet as a white zinfandel or rose of malbec, but not offputting either.I wouldn't call it a wine to drink by itself, but it seems like it would be ideal to pair with a nice meal.

Refreshing ice cold on a very hot day. Very fruity, nice color.

Priced right but disappointing. Lacking the finesse promised by the dry opening. Procencal color derived from a cabernet sauvignon grape. Pleasing and best paired with summer soups (i.e. cold soups such as gazpacho or vichyssoise or even a cucumber soup). That's it, it needs food. Not a wine to sip on its own merits.

Strong pear notes in the nose and mouth, semi-sweet, nice acidity. A little bit of yeastiness.

aromas of peaches, strawberries, raspberries, and watermelons. palate extends to glorious light red fruit, strawberries, nice acidity, fairly complex for a rose with a little floral on the finish. I loved and a great value!

Lots of fruit; granny smith apples and cranberry on the nose. Finishes with vanilla, roses, cherries and basil. Nice summer wine, would pair perfectly with a light salad.
