Tasting - Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence
Variety: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault Blend
Region: Provence
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

The Vintage Cellar's 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 fruit texture."

My Review: This wine had the tart aroma of under-ripe fruit including pear and apple. It was very acidic from start to finish. This dynamic wine had a bright, fresh flavor that hinted at citrus and pineapple.

This wine was tasted without food.
