Tasting - Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence


Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

Variety: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault

Region: Provence

Country: France

Year: 2011

Price: $8.95

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

My Review: While this wine is classified as a rose, it looks extremely much more white than other rose wines; there was no pink tint really at all.  On the nose, the wine smelt like a mixture of grass and feet.  It had a sugary sweet taste with a floral overtone.

With food? No
