  Fridge temp: 50 degree. Cork slides out easily. Color of wine: clear and very pale pink. Initial aroma: citrus and watermelon. First taste: citrus and watermelon, with possibly a little strawberry. Finish is clean, a little dry and refreshing. Just what I needed to sip while sitting out on the deck. At less than $10 a bottle, this seems like a very reasonable price for a very tasting rose.

  Salmon pink color in the glass, mostly watermelon on the nose with just a little funk (yeast/cheese). The watermelon really seems to jump out of the glass. There is more watermelon on the palate, along with some light red berries. Hard to really distinguish between raspberry, cherry, strawberry - mostly just a general sense of light red berry flavors complementing the watermelon. The watermelon is nowhere near as dominant on the palate as on the nose but it is still in the lead. There is a little sweetness (I'd be interested to see what the RS is) but it doesn't veer into Jolly Rancher territory. There is also a little spice that starts on the mid-palate and carries through to the finish. Medium+ acidity helps tie it all together. Refreshing and enjoyable.
