Tasting - Sainte Victoire

Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

Variety: Grenache Syrah Cinsault blend

Region: Provence

Country: France

Year: 2011

Price: $8.95

The Vintage Cellar's notes: 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.


This rosé was different from ones I have had before.  It had somewhat of a pungent smell, almost like smelly feet (not overwhelmingly so, just notes of feet). It tasted not terribly pleasant to me, very dry and acidic, maybe a little buttery but still acidic which was an interesting experience. Overall not my favorite wine of the bunch.
