Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "A stony, pure style, with a warm paving stone note framing the dried cherry and rose water notes. The long, watermelon rind—inflected finish is finely tuned. Shows length and cut, staying lacy in feel. 50% Cinsault and 50% Grenache."
My impressions: Sweeter fruit on the nose. The flavor is definitely sweet for a French rose - I'd put it at semi-sweet or off-dry. Slightly acidic, but not overpowering. Would be a fantastic picnic wine. Plus, the bottle's pretty!
