Chapel Hill Abacus Rosé 2016 September was cool and fairlyStraight up and down there's not a lot of excitement or get up and go with this Mourvedre Ros. Darker in the glass (and the image above) red currants some creaminess and watermelon husk are the main drivers. A textural feel and fine black pepper lingers but the fruit comes and goes. You can do a little better at this price point.
