Marqués de Cáceres 2010 Rosé
89Points

Raspberry, perfume and strawberry aromas dominate on the nose of this rosé, a blend of 85 percent tempranillo and 15 percent garnacha. It’s a dry, austere pink wine, with lean rhubarb and dried raspberry notes on the crisp, light-bodied palate, with a splash of watermelon to keep things fresh. The Marqués de Cáceres brings balance in a category where some runners-up were just a touch overdone.
