Tasting - Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

The Vintage Cellar, 3/28/13


Name:  Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence
Variety:  Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
Region:  Provence
Country:  France
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.95
Public 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:  I could hardly tell it was a rose wine just from looking at it; it's very light-colored.  It's different; I get a little more of a deeper flavor than I expected.  I know this probably didn't undergo malolactic fermentation but that's the taste I keep getting...
With food?:  No, but I had just finished drinking some apple cider spiced herbal tea.
Did buy?:  No
