I love this mellowed version of their blanco. Their blanco definitely has a kick giving it some character. It was created to remind you tequila blanco back in the day was for those that don’t like to mince words. It’s in your face demanding respect. This Rosa mellows that down a couple of notches while going it a different profile. Aged less than 2 months in Tempranillo wine barrels. Wine from Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe. It’s complex still maintains some agave and citrus from the unaged blanco

Not strong on agave but it is fruity with cinnamon and pepper notes. A solid Blanco overall.

Nice reddish hue to the tequila from the wine cask. The legs take a good 25-45sec to develop which is beautiful. Nose- agave, honey, fruit like melon, honey sickle, red wine grapeness. Taste- nice agave forward with fruits and slight floralness with a slight twinge from the wine barrels, not in a bad way if flows with the agave and last for a medium finish.

Pretty damn Good …. The French oak, and wine cask flavors are very prominent in the beginning…. Mellows after the first sip and the opening up…. High in complexity.

This has a very nice nose of vanilla and roast caramelized agave with hints of burnt sugar. In the mouth there is a great balance across aroma, flavor and finish. Not too hot, not too cold but just right on this snowy winter evening. This is the most complete flavor wise of the samples for me.

Tasted in the tequila matchmaker mystery blind On the nose this one is pretty funky I get a little dark chocolate and some minerals Some sweetness on the taste I get a little bitterness along with Agave and a little citrus a touch of dark chocolate and a touch of caramel a lot of minerals and earthiness as well much better the second time Finishes long spicy on the nice mouth feel a little bit of dryness in the finish

I appreciate this because the wine barrels don’t overpower the base blanco. All of the qualities of a good blanco are still here, yet there’s a touch of barrel to accompany it. This drinks like a very well made product that was made with subtlety and respect for the underlying blanco.

Nose and palate are fruity with notes of cherry. I revisited this after a blind tasting scored so well for me. Dried fruits, sweet crude. On the palate I get mint, sweet agave, pepper, earthiness, minerals

Sample from Robert Meyers Tasted in Chisholm Trail Glass Aroma. Initially Cooked Agave with some Raw Agave coming later. Lots of Minerals and Earth. Light Citrus and Fruity notes. Some Dried Plum and Grape, Cinnamon, and a nice Vegetal component. There was some Herbal and Grassy notes as well. Taste: Very Fruit forward with some Strawberry. Agave is present. Lots of Black Pepper that turns to Spicy Cinnamon. Nice Minerality and Earth. Some Cherry and Vanilla notes as well.

The aroma has a soft floral note, with soft minerality and the same grassiness found in the Blanco, not overpowering but complemented with cooked agave’s prune essence and light berry which all the notes can also be perceived on the palate upon sipping and savoring. I was delighted that even though the taste was indeed wine-forward it was not overpowering and didn’t drown my tongue in flowery notes. A very soft taste with bits of minerality still being distinct. I was impressed and instantly thought this was one of the best, yet few, Rosa Blancos I could enjoy. I look forward to comparing it to others in a side-by-side

really good aroma, agave, caramel pepper present throughout. good finish.

tried for first time at sabor y cultura LA. I really like this line. rested in tempranillo wine barrels previously used by @santosbrujos

Small tasting. A nice representation of the Rosa expression. Admittedly I’m not usually a big fan of wine barrel aging, but I’d drink this one again. Has some agave with a little sweet, fruit, tannic, and dry. It’s not too bold in any direction so it’s an easy drinker making a good entry for wine crossovers.

Aromas : agave, oak, grapefruit, herbal, grassy Taste: agave, oak, herbal,fruity Finish: long and balanced It has that dryness like wine so far my favorite Tequila Rosa

nose is soft and well balanced. i get agave, fruit, wood, and floral notes. taste, I really get the Tempranillo grapes from the Viñas del Sol barrels. Finish is good with tannins and finally honey.

additive free wine barrels open air wood barrels 12 hours cooked, oak woody cedar, spicy and pepper

Oak red fruit

Aroma: Agave, Cinnamon, Wine, Floral, White Pepper, Palate: Agave, Cinnamon, Baking Spice, Wine/Fruity, White Pepper, Thicc Body, Medium Finish

The nose is good, and its initial taste is good, but the finish is bitter sweet. Comparison to Cazcanes Rosa is ridiculous, as i wouldn't purchase again, but I do recommend.

Aroma: Cooked agave, red fruits, red cherry, minerality , dried fruit, fruit jelly/jam, creamy, slight buttery, strawberries and cream, earthy, vegetal light , raw agave, molasses like fresh cooked agave after it’s cokes if you ever had it, cooked sweet potatoes/yams, slight oak, pencil shavings, prunes, yogurt notes, wet dirt Palate: cooked agave, red fruits, cherry, some tannins , clean and slight dry finish, minerality, wet dirt, slight creamy notes, really easy drinking barely any burn, floral, jasmine tea notes, floral and almost reminiscent of a floral gin, lingering sweetness like biting into a fresh caña, fruity and like tropical fruit punch, fruit roll ups Really enjoyable one of my favorite Rosa’s available. As you let it open up it keeps revealing more notes little by little.

Definitely one of the best rosas on the market. I’ve tried Codigo, Montagave blanco and anejo, Cazcanes Blanco and Reposado, etc. Nice fruit notes from the wine but not overpowering the strong cooked agave flavor. This is definitely still a blanco tequila. Very easy to drink. For sure to be a competitor for the other high quality rosas on the market.
