Loved this. Thank you Dean Gold for a list stocked with fun oddballs like this. Never had a rosé like this before. It has the thirst-quenching crispness and juiciness of a rosé but the fruit flavors and fleshiness of it are more like red wine than pink. Not like a lambrusco or an actual sparkling red though. There is also a strong sensation of crushed rock and not surprisingly it's super-cloudy and constantly changing in the glass. Apparently this has both white grapes and red in the mix. Lots of fun was had imagining the flesh-eating monsters that would evolve and rise up from this if you left it in a petri dish or fed it after midnight.
