New Age Rose, no vintage on the bottle (about $12)






About the Wine:  The New Age brand debuted with a Torrontes/Sauvignon Blanc blend that is bubbly and just a bit sweet.  That wine has an appeal to White Zinfandel drinkers, so it makes sense that New Age would make a blush wine to advance further into that market.

About THIS Wine:  In the glass it is pink with a clear rim and bubbles a bit.  Crisp acidity is present on the nose along with strong notes of blueberry.  The palate is sweet and tart with a sweet berry finish.

Drinking This Wine:  This is a classic patio pounder that can be drunk by itself or with snack foods.  It is a little sweeter than I would normally recommend with a meal, but it could go well with spicy food.

Overall Impression:  Decent sweet wines and especially decent blush sweet wines are hard to come by, so I would say this one is good for the price.
