Tasting - Monte Aman Arlanza Rosado

Monte Arman Arlanza Rosado
Arlanza, Spain
Price: $12

The Vintage Cellar sold out of the originally planned wine for tasting, Oracle Pinotage, so this was a substitute wine.

Tasting Notes: "It has a cherry red color, live, fresh, clean. Very fruity, berries (strawberries, cherries), elegant and surprising. The palate is well balanced and fresh wine in step, with good acidity and is pleasant and enjoyable. It should be served cold, with all types of starters, fish and light meats."

I am typically not a fan of rosés but this one was rather different and I found it to be more complex than any others I have tried. With that said, I enjoyed this wine. It was sweet but had an interesting bite to it and presented a very nice body. Will definitely keep this one in mind for the future.
