2009 Granite Ridge Granite Belt Queensland Merlot Rose 2009

The label has a cerise/lolly pink . But the simplicity of the label is a plus: a strip of white like the outline of a ridge or river. /Granite Ridge is 'a boutique winery producing handcrafted wines in small batches'.  the winery is in Ballandean in the Granite Belt QLD. And the winemaker here does everything. This rose would be really good with food. My drinking companion said it was floral. It had no back palate. but up front it's dry, with honey and roses.
