Craig Haynes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I opened the 2017 vintage of this three varietal blend and it checks a lot of boxes for me. The mouthfeel is lingering, mid-weight and effortlessly delivers this rosé’s substantial strawberry and red apple flavours. These delicious flavours continue through the finish. The blend bill is Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Pinot Noir from Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula appellation. This rosé is a delicious experience so I’m glad that I let this one mature.

Crisp, refreshing Niagara rose. Blood orange, with grapefruit zest. Pairs well with fried calamari. Tasted 2017 vintage in Feb 2019. 90 points

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Consistently such a great Ontario rosé, this wine delivers year after year. Aromas of cranberry, grapefruit and strawberry with a hint of lime. Dry, bright acidity, and vibrant blend of citrus and berry flavours on the palate. Refreshing, crisp, and a crowd pleaser for sure. Enjoy on warm late summer afternoons on a patio with appetizers, or with seafood, chicken, or pork.

Natalie's Review

Malivoire Ladybug Rosé 2017, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: It's no wonder that this is Ontario's most popular rose. Lovely light and lifted aromas of wild field strawberries on a sun-dappled afternoon. Dry and refreshing and mouth-watering. This is a Niagara blend of Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes. Pair with grilled seafood or chicken. Drink: 2018-2020. 559088 12.50% D 750 mL $16.95 Score: 92/100. August 16, 2019 Best Value Rosé Wine. Full Review
