Vintage Cellar Review: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault. Bright salmon pink; typical of 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: The color is what stood out the most to me with this wine. All of the roses I've had previously were much pinker than this wine was. It actually had a very light peachy-salmon color to it. On the nose I got peaches and strawberry. I smelled a little creaminess in it as well. On the tongue it was much more vegetal than I expected based on the nose. There was also a little white pepper with only a slight peachy pear taste. Overall this wine was okay, but nothing special to me personally.
I did not have food with this wine.
