This was an interesting one to me. It was a rosé made from a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot. It was produced by the Domaine De Mirail winery in the Gascony area of France, part of the Armagnac region. This was their 2011 vintage. The shop's notes describe it as being eye-watering in its crispness, with balancing acidity smoothing out a touch of caramel. First thing, I couldn't taste caramel. I thought it had a weaker smell than the previous ones, as well as a less powerful taste. It tasted a lot like a watered down red wine basically, and I wasn't a huge fan. It was sweet while being a bit acidic too, both being very light tastes. This wine also costs $5.95 at the Vintage Cellar.
