Hillebrand Gamay Noir Rose

Hillebrand Gamay Noir Rose 2004 Canada Niagara Peninsula

Received this bottle as a gift. My mother picked up this bottle when she ate at the vineyard restaurant in the area of Niagara Falls, Canada. I had enjoyed gamay based Canadian wine in the past so I figured the rose must be worth a try. Perfect rose color with the legs of a red wine. Smelled like apricots and pears. Silky smooth texture. Refreshing flavor of ripe fruit with a near perfect balance of sweetness and alcohol for a rose. Since it was given to me it do not know the price but it can't be over $12. One of the best roses I've had.
My grade: B+
