  I'm still figuring out how to "rate" rosé wine here- sure, most of the ones I've enjoyed around the $20-$25 mark such as this have been delicious and refreshing, but also very same-y, and without any real complexity or interest- I feel like it's very possible to get just-as-refreshing white or red wines for similar prices that have much more going for them.
  
  This had a somewhat more savory/salty nose and palate than some others, but almost *too* much, in that it was pretty much all minerality- not much in the way of fruit (maybe very faint grapefruit or something), or floral tones, or anything else. Good acidity for sure, although felt a little tart and nondescript. I've had far more engaging experiences with the Folk Machine Pinot Noir and Charbono, which were purchased for even less than this.
  
  I might be underrating this a bit, but like I said, the price feels high, despite being tasty.
