Tasting - Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence


Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence
Variety: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Cinsault
Region: Provence
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style.  Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes.  Dry and crisp, with a delicate flavor and full texture.

My Review: This was a very light colored rose with a 13% alcohol content.  Very strong smell of grapefruit on the nose.  Smooth, flowery and salty with a very nice finish.  I did not have this wine with food.  I think it would go well with anything sweet to offset the salty taste.
