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

My review: The nose was extremely fruity, with a good balance of bitter and sweet. The taste was rather acidic, yet not particularly bitter. It had a surprisingly dry finish for a rose.
