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
Tasting Date and Location: 28 March 2013 at Vintage Cellar

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:  This wine like Canyon Road had a nice fruity aroma but more subdued.  It was definitely dryer than the Canyon Road and had an understated taste. Overall this was an interesting Rose but not particularly exceptional. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
