"Deep pink. Peppery red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by licorice and pungent herbs. Sappy and rich on the palate, offering powerful red berry and bitter cherry flavors and very finishing grip. This serious pink wine could stand up to strongly seasoned foods." 89 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 09
"Very vibrant, with racy cherry fruit and a well-defined stony edge that ripples through the lengthy finish. This has the intensity of a Tavel, with more exuberant-style fruit. Drink now. 9,000 cases imported." 88 points - Wine Spectator, February 28, 2009
"Ruby-pink in color, with sweet aromas of cotton candy but also cherry, raspberry and strawberry. This is a departure from previous vintages of Cherub, which were drier and paler in color. This is more wild and ripe, but it’s nicely textured and full-bodied as rosés go. Very good for Chile, but we like our rosés a little more subtle and less sweet." 88 points - Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2009 |
