Domaine de Paris 2012 Cotes de Provence Rose

Very disappointed in this Provence Rose.  Flat, no characteristic, bone dry, no fruit on the nose or palate.  Ok let's rephrase this...at this time and with this meal the wine isn't working for me. It is very terrior driven. You do get a little ocean/beach scent on the nose and brininess on the palate with a touch of limestone minerality, but nothing that lingers too long on either.  Definitely forgettable, but at only $15 it's not a huge loss.  I've had Rose from Loire at $8 that drink better than this. Wolffer's Rose outta Long Island drinks 100% better than this.  But the summer season is young and we have plenty of Rosé to conquer.  Thank goodness the Mesculin salad with roasted pork and shaved aged cheddar is served along side this.  The other white meat with greens prevails!!  Cheers!
