Tasting - Dom de Mirail


Name: Dom de Mirail
Variety: Cabernet/Merlot Rose
Region: Cotes de Gascogne
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95


Vintage Cellar Review: 
There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rosé. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel. 

My Review: "I smell candy," was the first thing recorded on my voice memo. This wine smelled fantastic and the inclusion of caramel was an interesting choice. It made this rosé dangerously smooth to drink by adding some body, yet still took a backseat and allowed the wine to maintain its fresh, light quality - a fantastic balance.
