$5 Syrah Rose
Josefina 2006
Paso Robles
Trader Joes

This Rose has a very tangy nose. A lot of melon... a little apple...some blueberry. The first sip was unusual... very sour and a quite bitter with a charcoal aftertaste. I gave it another try later in the evening, but to no avail. Not a very good Rose.

I give this bitter wine 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
