With the warm weather, a chilled Rose can be quite refreshing. This evening, I opened a bottle of 2006 Craftsman Pinot Noir Rose from Hungary ($10). Hungary is a lesser known wine region but I have had a couple good wines from there, including this Rose.
This wine is a rich pink color with an abundance of fruit flavors, noticeably strawberry. It is a bit sweeter than the last Rose I reviewed, but still is very crisp and the sweetness is far from cloying. The finish is not overly long but it is a refreshing wine, light and flavorful. It is a good value Rose and I recommend it as a Drink & Buy.
Hi, Richard. This is my first visit to your site, but it won't be my last. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued to read this post, since I've had the Craftsman "Woodman's White" which I thought was a great value at $3.99. I'll look for this one, too.
Thanks for the compliment. I have seen some of your posts over at Catavino.
ReplyDeleteI love trying wines from different countries, especially those off the beaten path. I think you can find some good values in such wines.
