Rose in name only, this is a surprising light yet dark red wine. Light bodied, pomegranate colored, with a prominent nose of natural red fruit snack, pomegranate, hibiscus, slight raspberry and maybe even a little charcoal and moss, with a palate that’s pure dark ripe fruit, deep plum flavors, blackberry, candied hibiscus from Trader Joe’s, but a lightness and dryness that makes it easy to drink, but with a zingy finish that rises to the end, like the finish of a sour warhead.

Similar to Clos Cibonne, with bit more wood tannins and cherry fruit. Has a good mineral complexity and solid body but feels slightly dull.
