Tasting - Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence



Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence
Variety:  Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
Region:  Provence
Country:  France
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.95
Shop 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.
Personal Review:  Smells fresh but rather indistinguishable, maybe floral.  Dry but complex.  I'm not a fan of dry but not completely unpleasant.  First taste I wasn't exactly sure of, then mid palate of fruit but kind of watery, then dry, then tart finish.
Food Paring:  not tasted with food
