Shop/wine
critic/Winery Review: 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: Now to
this point in my wine tastings, I have had my fair share of rose wines and have
gotten better at not immediately judging them.
So I started this wine off with a clean plate, and since it wasn’t the
normal rose grapes, I was intrigued. The
smell was nice with hints of pears and golden delicious apples (didn’t have a
lot of acidic smell to it). The taste
really threw me off. It was extremely
light and kind of a weak finish. It was
like you bit into a grape and then immediately spit it back out. It did finish with more acidity but I was let
down. From three very complex red wines,
this rose really left me hanging and disappointed with the complexity.
