Light salmon pink color. Fruity nose of watermelon, grapes, and strawberry, with a little metallic/mineral note. Bone dry, rather full, with decent acidity. Very slightly bitterish watermelony/cherry fruit flavors (I like the slight bitterness, or else the wine would have been too simple.) Clean, refreshing finish. A definite summer cookout rosé. B. Was $11.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax, VA. Imported by Saranty Imports, White Plains, NY.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
