Region: Loire Valley
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $32, on sale for $8.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: 90 – Stephen Tanzer "Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence"
My impressions:
French rose! I'm a sucker for those. So much better than the American variety. I'm actually drinking this wine as I write this - I'd have paid $32 for it, but $8.95 is just too good to pass up! Dry, slightly tart, with a little fruit showing through (berries?). Fantastic deal. I bought two.
