Vibrant Malahi 2023 Areni Rose

We loved this wine! First tried it at the Ginifest; bought it and shared it at Triangle Wine Shop. Vibrant color of Maraschino cherries. The nose and taste is of a blend of ripe red cherries and strawberries. Just a beautiful wine in the glass; this should be enjoyed throughout the holiday season and perhaps Valentine's day if it is still available!
