Zero California Rosé
61/100
The short takeThin and Kool-Aid-y — artificial strawberry candy over water, with almost no wine structure underneath. Bright pink juice in a wine bottle, easy to skip.

Serve Well chilled — cold hides some of the thinness, not the candy.

In the glass
- Nose
- Sweet strawberry candy on the nose — soft-drink fruit, not vineyard strawberry or dry rosé aromatics.
- Palate
- Thin and Kool-Aid-y through the middle. Artificial berry sweetness over water; almost no wine structure or acid spine to push back.
- Finish
- Short and sugary — candy fades into nothing rather than dry fruit or mineral.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
Low: soft-drink strawberry more than wine; thin middle with little acid or grip.
The wine
The glass tastes like strawberry soft drink before it tastes like rosé. Sweet candy fruit, thin watery middle, almost no acid or grip to argue back. That is the whole case against it.
Nose is strawberry candy — the powdered-drink kind, not vineyard berry. On the palate the Kool-Aid line continues: artificial sweetness over water, body so light the sip barely holds shape. Mouthfeel is the problem as much as the fruit: thin, soft, soda-adjacent.
Chill it hard and the thinness is slightly less obvious; the candy is not. Likeness is low. This is pink soft-drink fruit in wine clothing, not a dealcoholized rosé with structure. Adequate only if pink is the only requirement. There is a clear reason to skip it.
61 sits below the median of the 33 dealcoholized Rosé bottles we've tasted.
