Wine: Bernard Griffin 2007 Rosé of Sangiovese

[elfs]

For the past week, I've been enjoying Bernard Griffin Rosé of Sangiovese, a pretty much perfect summer wine, especially when chilled close to freezing. The scent of strawberry is strong-- in fact, it seems to be the only note of note to the nose-- and it's surprisingly sweet for a wine that describes itself as a "dry rosé." There's a slight acidic aftertaste that some might find metallic, but it's not overwhelming or offputting.

The alcohol content is pretty high, though; half-glasses only. And since it's a rosé, remember to hold the glass by the stem.
