Wine Tasting: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence

Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence
Variety:  Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault
Region:
Provence

Country: France
Year: 
2011
Price:
 $8.95


Winery 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.  - Vintage Cellar 3/28/2013

My Review: 
Sainte Victoire's peach color is representative of its fresh, warm, floral qualities.  Though not very sweet in taste, it is warm and syrupy on the nose.  This wine also has a strange bight to it that is hard to describe; it almost tastes carbonated.   Not a huge fan of this wine, but it is tolerable.   
 
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
