Echo Falls White Zinfandel

Rose or blush wines are generally thought of as a bit lame in everyday circles. It's what you drink if you're a wine novice, particularly if you're female. It's thought of as being cheap and sweet. I don't know why. Maybe historically choice of blush wines was limited but, hand on heart, I think there are bad reds, whites and pinks out there but, bottle for bottle, far fewer bad pinks.

Lovely, refereshing fruity wine! This wine is ideal for any occasion - dinner party, quite drink in the pub to a night with the girls! Rose wine is usually a particular favourite with the ladies - but that doesnt mean it is for ladies only! I would recommend this for all wine lovers out there.

So if you have ...  Read the complete review
