 Back-to-back Insider's Picks with Cabernet Sauvignon wines, yet VASTLY different. While we will argue a good dry rose is great any time of the year, Spring and Summer definitely qualify as rose 'season', and there are oceans of them to pick from. Provencal ones are great and are a solid benchmark to start from, but not nearly the only game in town. Most every red wine growing area, especially in Europe, makes a dry rose from the grapes they use, and it can be argued that most every red wine grape is capable of being used to make a very nice rose. So don't let this Austrian rose come as a surprise to you when you taste it. Almost peachy fruit on the nose with soft rose petal and strawberry leaf notes, light and fresh at first and getting a bit darker as it opens up. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes through on the body, a bit rounder on the palate with some of the currant and darker fruit notes coming through especially on the tangy finish. There isn't aggressive minerality here, but it still has a long nervy and mouthwatering finish that makes it refreshing sip after sip, and will hold up very well to all kinds of rose-appropriate cuisine.
