Critic Review

"The Eastwood Raspberry Rosé is a blend of Virginia Merlot and raspberry wine, made from hand-picked raspberries on the Eastwood estate. Raspberry is pronounced on the nose and palette. It is an off-dry and light-bodied rosé. Delicious with grilled meats and farmer’s market veggies as well as summery salads and pastas."

Wine Folly

I didn't get many of the common Merlot notes listed in Wine Folly, like plum. I mainly got some very interesting flavors that I assume came from the raspberry, which Wine Folly doesn't have a section for.

Personal Review

This wine was very interesting. It's made with some raspberry, giving it a unique smell that  reminds me of a watermelon jolly rancher. The smell had an odd jello note that was replaced by a bit of lime in the flavor. It's definitely worth trying for the price.
