Other Notes
John Schreiner says this:
40 Knots Rosé 2016 ($22.90 for 567 cases). This wine has an appealing pink hue, leading to aromas and flavours of cherry and cranberry. The wine is lively and refreshing on the palate and crisply dry on the finish. 90.

This is our favourite patio wine, pairs perfectly with a picnic lunch in the sunshine! Or with a chocolate dessert for date night! Fruity strawberry at first sip, but much deeper and more complex than most roses.

We really enjoyed the interpretive walk and all the wines we tasted. The rose was our favourite so we purchased a bottle. The young lady the poured for our tasting was excellent and very informative.

By far my favourite rose. A light and tangy flavour, not what I expected from a rose. It is the perfect summer wine.

I'm not usually a Rose drinker but this had me converted! It's slight dryness and berry flavours make it so refreshing. We sipped it with a turkey dinner, pan fried breaded oysters and chocolate dessert.

I would never drink a rose . My bad choice younger years we would buy Matous and wake up with the worsed headache. This rose is dry and not sweet. It has hints of berry with a pepper finish . I love it so much and don't have a headache the next day. It's a new staple in my home.

First found this wine in Cascadia Nanoose Bay wine store. At that time they only had these small sample bottles. I told them they should stock more 40 Knots product. This product has grown in popularity and they now carry more 40 Knots wines. My wife and I visited the 40 Knots winery and were very impressed. Very nice tastings.
