Wine of the Week: Montes Cherub Rose 2006 (Chile) $13

The 2006 Montes Cherub Rose is a hot pink wine (literally, thanks to the Syrah grape) that brings a fresh look and flavor to today's Rose showcase. Montes Cherub is a vibrant, flavor-filled Rose from Chile's coastal region. This Rose is made from Syrah grapes, which dictate both its brilliant color and swank flavor. The flavor profile offers rich red fruit, mainly strawberry and cherry with a touch of orange and spice. Montes Cherub Rose also boasts backbone and lively acidity, culminating in a long, delightful finish. A fantastic wine for end of summer gatherings. Consider pairing with shrimp, fish or prosciutto appetizers.
