  Consumed over ~1 1/2 hours, warming from fridge temp to room temp. I agree that this doesn't show the sweetness level "semi-dry" might imply. Still, there is a hint of RS, and it is fairly full-bodied for a rosé, with simple ripe strawberry & cherry preserve notes dominating. This has a bit of tart acidity to it, but not enough to make it especially refreshing - it's more like fruit juice. Not my preferred take on rosé, but it's not bad for the price if this is the style you're looking for. 82-83ish.

  Blood orange juice color in the glass with a hint of brown. Semi-dry on the label worried me a bit that this would have pronounce residual or added sugar. Fortunately none of that. Aromatic nose of red berries, palate dances with flavors reminiscent of southern Rhone/Provence starting with sweet tart strawberries, a blast of acidity mid palate and a surprisingly long finish that invites you back for more. Very nice value wine from TJs.

  Smells very fruity, mainly strawberry on nose and strawberry is dominate flavor. Semi dry so it does have some sweetness to it but it is still very drinkable by itself. Maybe some raspberry flavor with a little tartness. Does not have that dry crispness of some rose but it is still refreshing and enjoyable.

  Picked up for $6 so can't complain too loudly. Faded garnet color. Reticent nose. Palate is definitely fruit driven as this is a semi dry rose. Dark berries and cherry combined with a slight leather or dusty hint mid palate. Just OK and perfect to dump into the sangria for the 4th of July.

  5/27/2013 - jonahfactor Does not like this wine:

  Undrinkable. Twasn't spoiled or corked (screwcap). But opened with a muskrat nose and went downhill from there, with a bubblegum flavor profile and a green bean streak. Lyn used even worse descriptors. Vibrant pink hue that hinted at what should have been a tasty Paso Robles rose'.
