Tasting - Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes De Provence
Variety: Granache, Sryah, Cinsault
Region: Provence
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Bright salmon pike, 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 featured an extremely aromatic nose with strong flower scents. The attack came through with clear fruit and berry flavors which were weak at first, but intensified through the mid-palate. The color of this wine made me think it would be softer in it's approach and I was pleasantly surprised by how full the fruit flavors were. 

I did not try this with food.
