A coppery colored, off-dry-to-frankly-sweet wine that’s simple, fruity and a little cloying. The dominant flavors are peaches and strawberries, with a very spicy finish, but the acidity seems a bit low. Still, at this price, millions of people will find a lot to like.

Frankly this is nothing to swoon over. The color is salmon and the nose is like matchstick sulfur. The wine is surprisingly sweet for being 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha, and it’s borderline cloying on the finish. Has its moments but I’m not really sure what the point is.

The best rosé of the year? Could be. It’s difficult to review a wine that you just want to slug down, it’s so good. Gorgeous color, smooth, fresh, ripe, mixed stone fruits across a lush palate, and a clean entry and exit.

Extremely pale pink in color with a delicate nose of white strawberry, sweet pea florals and white cranberry vibrancy. The palate is zippy and fresh with flavors of small red berries and tangerine juice. Lightweight in the mouth with balanced acidity and a clean, concise finish. Drink now.

Vanilla, strawberry and cherry on the nose leads into a spicy but balanced blend of fresh and fruity flavors. The wine offers ample minerality so it’s clean on the tongue. Delightful and flirty, and good with fruit desserts.

Compared to the winery’s Vin Gris de Cigare, Ca’ del Solo’s “other” blush wine is fuller-bodied, sweeter and more coarse. It contains everything from Barbera to Charbono to Carignane.

Deeply colored, deeply flavored and slightly off-dry, this wine has cherry pie filling flavors sprinkled with vanilla and cinnamon. It’s a simple blush sipper.

Overtly sweet, with jammy black raspberry and cherry flavors finished with pepper and cinnamon. Crisp acidity gives a bright balance. Nice with picnic fare and fresh fruit.

Despite the silly packaging and strange orange tint, this is a solid if unusual rosado that registers sweet but likable. It’s chunky, with berry flavors and a shot of leather and animal. By no means is it elevated or for the long haul. Drink now or hold your peace. Imported by Winery Exchange.

Chianti’s Castello Bossi owns this coastal Tuscany estate and has released a very attractive rosé with pretty floral tones, fresh fruit and a touch of menthol-cherry for extra dimension. Try it with pasta, fish or white meat.
