Ever since the mass of us non-Euro’s have realized that rosés can actually be dry, complex and awesome to drink (why did we ever drink White Zin anyway?), quality for this stuff has been on the up and up. I thought I was dead on with this because 1.) it’s made up of Garnacha and Monastrell, two grapes traditionally used to pump out good rosés and 2.) it’s from Jumilla, Spain a place where these two grapes (particularly Monastrell) thrive.
Turn’s out, I was just flat wrong. A sign could’ve been Garnacha was spelled Grenache (French and English for Garnacha) on a Spanish bottle of wine. Either way, it was just weak. The beginning nose had a slight cotton candy-ish smell which promised of something good and summery, but the end result in taste was just a simple, boring, low acidic wine with no finish. Cold, bland and more or less wintery, save the bright fake pink color.
Goes with: a winter day when it’s technically spring.
