Wine Tasting: Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose

Name: Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Loire Valley
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: Regular $32, on sale $8.95

Winery Review: Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence.

My Review: Orange-pink hue, smells like slightly more acidic fruits such as oranges, maybe a hint of apple, a slight smell of strawberry. Dry with a slightly acidic edge to it, but rounded out with a wonderful mix of fruit and floral sensations. I did not taste this wine with food.
