Yellow Tail Rosé 2009 12 % alcohol about $7

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Pale strawberry red in color, the nose shows light aromas of red cherry and strawberry. On the palate, it is fruity and soft on the finish. Serving Suggestion: Baked ham with sweet potatoes, turkey dinner.“ And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was round and very refreshing. It was long, and dark for a rosé. Japanese Wasabi crackers made no changes except that the wine lost some of its darkness. The initial meal consisted of veal chops baked in a tomato sauce. Now the libation tasted of burnt sugar, citrus, and strawberry. When paired with spicy French fries the wine shortened but was intense and fruity. Fresh strawberries for dessert filled this rosé with strawberries.
