Finger Lakes Rose wine trial - Sheldrake versus Kelby (aka Red Newt Cellars)

I don't usually like to form this type of tasting comparison, but it came upon us as a happy accident.  We ( four good friends ) had a spontaneous dinner party, and our two guests unknowingly brought over these two Rose wines.  The Sheldrake has a pale, almost faint pink.  The Kelby has a very artificial tone of color - bubble gum-like.  I wanted to think it was the light, and maybe it was, but if it's real, they should figure out a way to let that color seem perceptively accurate, or explain it on the narcissistic, but sexy label.  As we tasted, prior to the full visual comparison, we found the Sheldrake Rose to be well balanced and fully capable of working with a variety of poultry and seafood.  The Kelby (aka Red Newt) seemed astringent to be overly critical, but the color just turned us down a dark path as we continued to ignore it with the option of the Sheldrake Rose next to it with our meal of roasted chicken and herb baked wild Russian salmon.  Sheldrake Rose Score - 87  versus Kelby (aka Red Newt Cellars Rose) Score - 84
