  From plastic cup at birthday party, so just general impressions and no score. Simple strawberry/watermelon fruit, just slightly off-dry, refreshing although it could use a touch more acid. After a little air time and warming up a bit, the initial impression of minerality on the finish (as Brig mentioned) turned into an edge of greenness which I couldn't decide if I liked or not. Still a decent rosé for $6. 83-84ish.

  Long story short, a guy at trader joes gave this bottle to my wife because of a previous misfire. Said "you'll like this".
  
  Well, add this to the short list of trader joes wines I really liked. This is a no brainer on a hot socal evening listening to the cowboy junkies watching the sunset.
  
  Bright candy apple red color, like cranberry juice. Nose of ripe strawberries. Palate is fresh peach, tart strawberry, and nice acidity. Good mineral notes, wet stone late in the finish. Impressive for $6.

  Somewhat interesting. No off flavors. Strawberry jello. Lacking zip, and lip smacking deliciousness. But, might buy again. at 6 bucks.
