Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely rose blend that is perfect for spring and summer BBQ's. Aromas of strawberry, cherry, and a hint of orange. Dry, but nudging towards off-dry, and medium bodied on the palate with medium, balanced acidity. Fruit is fresh and ripe, with some citrusy grapefruit notes and a clean finish. Excellent price point. Enjoy with BBQ ribs or grilled planked salmon.
Tawse Sketches Of Niagara is a classic rosé from the Niagara Peninsula wine region. Vibrant with ripe strawberries and soft citrus aromas on the nose, this is a juicy, medium-bodied Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Gamay rosé wine blend and great value under $20. Look for ripe red berry, pink grapefruit and clementine flavours on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
