A bruiser of a rosé, but in a good way.
Very dark (for a rosé) cherry/watermelon color. Deep nose of cherry and watermelon juice (I'm not just getting lazy here, it really did look and smell like cherry and watermelon) along with powdered rock dust. Intensely flavored (almost overwhelmingly so for a rosé) with cherry/mineral flavors. Lots of body too. It's a rosé that drinks like a red, is what it is. Clean. long, minerally finish with some (barely) perceptible residual sugar. Not a lot of finesse, but a lot of oomph. Put a good chill on it or it will be cloying, but with that good chill it's a B+. Got this as a gift, so I don't know the price, but an Internet search reveals that most places sell this for around $10, making it a good value.
