My Review: 

This rose was much closer to a red, which I enjoyed. It was dry for a rose as its label would suggest, and along with the strawberry flavor like the Apothic rose it had an oaky flavor and aftertaste. It was also more alcoholic than the Apothic. The label described it as "velvety," which I agree with. I think the dryness complemented the strawberry flavor nicely.
