So, Colleen of James Cole loves Rose. James Cole, at the time, did not make a Rose. James grew weary of her drinking other producers Rose; which prompted him to make one. It's a small production of about 200-300 cases. He releases this on Valentines Day and makes a beautiful inscription on the bottle just to her. Nice touch James. This is made from Malbec and is much darker in color than most Roses. Blackberry reduction, dark cherries, cherries, pouched strawberries, brilliant crumbled chalkiness and minerals, dark moist soil and a rich, thick, beautiful long finish.
