Even as Winter looms, I persist in drinking rosés. It helps me believe that sometime in the not-too-distant future, I will be able to sit on the porch again and sip a soothing libation surrounded by green leaves…
This is Crios Rosé of Malbec (2012), from the Mendoza region in Argentina.
First of all, the candy pink color is very striking in the glass. Actually, it reminded me of a Jolly Rancher. The nose gives you an impression of red, ripe cherry-like fruit, and the taste is very dry and tart. Like rhubarb pie with very little sugar. The alcohol content in this bottle is 13.8%, surprisingly high for a rosé and noticeable in the taste. This wine has the structure and acidity to stand up to strong-flavored foods.

I love the colour and the picture on the label!
Thanks! I thought the color was quite amazing. It tastes like that color, too.
Mmm, wine. I love wine 😉 Will see if I can find that one. For scientific purposes 😉
It’s tasty and it’ll get you high in no time: )
Sounds right up my street 😉
I love me some rosé as well–drink it all year ’round! But refrain from bathing suits and sandles if you see any white stuff on the ground. Wow, that was almost poetic-ish-esque!
Thanks for the comment! I looked at your blog and I’m in awe of all the wines you’ve tasted. BTW check out this post with my husband’s cool bike: https://linnetmoss.com/2013/10/12/no-bones-about-it/
He’s an avid cyclist… and wine-bibber.
That is a sweet bike! Thanks for checking out my blog–I am not quite sure how I ended up with some of those wines, to tell you the truth!
