Tasting - Dom De Mirail Cabernet/Merlot Rose

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

Shop/wine critic/Winery 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: Hmmmm Rose... yes I know what everyone is thinking (because I was too), 'who but novice drinkers and old people drink rose?'.  Well I will say I was very impressed by this Rose.  It was not sweet at all because it was made from only red grapes.  It was medium body with a slightly bitter taste.  It's finish was very light but I enjoyed it.  The taste was very refreshing but contained more flavor than a normal white wine.  I think it was a good wine but nothing to write home about.
