Hey guys! For the first post of my long-promised rose review series I’m reviewing the Big House the Siren rose that comes in a 2-serving (250ml) can! This is a Californian rose dubbed as medium sweetness and easy drinking.
First off, this rose comes in a can so it was automatically dubbed by my sister and I as the perfect glamping (glam camping, for the uninitiated) wine. My mum and I found this at Sobeys Cellars ($4.99 for those wondering) while picking out the perfect bottle of prosecco for a special occasion and she really really wanted us to have some to review as part of this series. (Thanks, Mom!)
My sister and I tried this wine one night after I had worked all day and taught all night. A 8am-8:30PM day just deserves a rose, right? We cracked these open and enjoyed them on a hot night in mid-May.
This rose has a strong strawberry flavor off the top with no bitter aftertaste. It’s pretty crisp and while it is quite sweet, it isn’t the type of sweet that morphes into sucking all of the moisture off of your tongue. It’s a very bright pink color, so if you’re looking to find a very obviously pink rose, this is the one for you!
Let me tell you though… on a hot day, this rose goes down way too easy. Like if you could get me a straw, a patio chair, and a cooler of these, I’d be wrecked for a week! Exercise some moderation while drinking these though, and you’ll be able to enjoy a couple glasses of crisp, sweet and fruity rose without having to crack open an entire bottle.
Have you ever tried wine in a can? I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t notice any tinny flavor from it and I think it’d be the perfect way to take wine to a BBQ, golfing or camping! Heck, it’d be nice to throw a couple of these in my fridge to enjoy on the patio every now and again!
I’ll have another Rose Review up in the next couple of weeks. I’m hoping to select a new category for an upcoming wine review series, so tell me- reds, or sparkling wines? Which would you like to see first? Let me know in the comments below!
