Shop Critic: 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: After smelling this wine I was immediately transported in my mind to my childhood when my mom would give me Welch's White Grape Juice. It was an extremely refreshing aroma! While tasting this wine I found it had a very mild light flavor. Slightly fruity and had very little body to speak of. The flavor dissipated quite quickly. It was surprisingly dry for a rose! Probably from the Cinsault grape. Overall, not a terrible wine but it's a pass for me. The grapes used were all typically "Red" grapes but this wine was very light indicating the skins were not left on long.
I drank this wine on it's own with no food pairings.
