One of the finest roses made in Australia is Charles Melton's Rose of Virginia. The light to medium ruby-hued 2004 a blend of Grenache Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir is an exuberant candied cherry-scented and flavored crisp elegant effort that cuts a broad swath across the palate. It finishes with loads of fruit and little residual sugar. Importer: Ted Schrauth Old Vines Australia imported by Epic Wines Santa Cruz CA tel. (831) 689-9080; Bluewater Wines Warwick RI tel.
