Wine Review: I wasn't able to find a review for the vintage year of 2023 but I was able to get one for a 2019 vintage year. According to some users on the website, Vivino, the wine tastes like a "blend of fruit. More dry than sweet... Strong strawberry with some citrus and pear and grapefruit... for a very inexpensive Rose, this one is great. Nice aromas, nice color, with a bit of peach, nectarine, and citrus. Very easy to drink and enjoy with almost anything" (“2019 Chalkboard Rosé”).
Wine Folly: There was no specific Rose page in the Wine Folly textbook since it's mainly a blended wine and the bottle itself doesn't mention what grapes are in the wine. However, I did find some good pairings for Rose's, those being salty cheeses, blue cheese, and sour cream and cheese to list a few. I also learned that to create a Rose maceration is performed which is where "red grape skins are left to macerate in juice for a short time" until the desired color is reached and then the "fermentation is completed like a white wine" ("Wine Folly").
Review: It was good! Very dry aroma but also some fruity notes to bring out some sweetness. Specifically, I smelled pears and apricots mainly and I noticed this in the taste as well. It starts off dry but immediately turns sweet until the taste subsides and it's fully sweet. Along with this, I agree with some of the reviews online that I found, the blend of fruit for the taste and smell is good and I can see this wine being a great refreshing drink to have in the summer.
I tasted this with some chips.
