Wine Critic Review: "Barefoot Bubbly Sweet Rosé is the perfect sweet and sparkling treat. Fruity and lively, this Bubbly will surprise and delight with each sip. Enjoy the juicy layers of loganberries, sweet cherries and the delightfully lingering finish. Deliciously sweet like Barefoot Bubbly Moscato Spumante and Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato, Barefoot Bubbly Sweet Rosé has beautiful ribbons of red fruit in the aromas."  (https://www.argonautliquor.com/products/14363655/barefoot-bubbly-sweet-rose-pride-edition srsltid=AfmBOoqTliq9oyVPchYhLZkf1R86CDRXvaXTEVV41aYqnVtwTH0qslYH)

References: From page 149 of Wine Folly, Pinot Gris is a pink grape variation of Pinot Grigio and has notes of white peach, lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, and crushed gravel. I could definitely get notes of peach, lemon zest and cantaloupe as it was a sweet fruity wine. To be honest, I have no clue how to taste crushed gravel. From page 96 of Wine Folly, Chardonnay has notes of yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, vanilla and butter. The only note I can confidently say I got from this is vanilla, there was definitely a hint of the sweetness from it. The others I cannot say confidently that I tasted. This could be because there was less of this variety than the others. 

My review: This was a great wine! It was sparkling which was fun. It was also a sweet wine, which I personally like. It had a generally sweet fruity flavor. The wine had a general fruity aroma, I could smell a citrus scent with a hint of berry, maybe cherry but it was hard to tell. The specific notes I got in the wine were citrus, peach and berry. Would drink again!
