Winery Review: One Gyorgy describes this rose as such: "Never heard of it, bought it at grocery store. The deepest dark pink color I've seen on a rosé. Indeed, very dry, but still rather fruity with lots of cherries, strawberry, rhubarb and a hint of raspberry with lime and saline. Very easy to drink. Could be perfect for a pool party. I have the feeling that ladies would love it. Pretty darn good for the price."
Wine Folly: (Page 292) "Right Bank" Bordeaux - "The Bordeaux regions of Pomerol and Saint-Emilion on the northeast bank of the Dordogne River have pockets of rich, clay-based soils that are ideal for ripening Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Great examples have rich, cherry fruit flavors balanced with cedar, leather, and incense notes."
My Review: Here we are back at it with the French! I wanted to try something from the Old-World side of the aisle. As the name dictates, this is definitely a dry one. It is very light on the mouthfeel, though, and not too acidic either. It feels very simple, but there is definitely more to unveil here. I don't have any snack to pair this with at the moment, but I would highly recommend some sort of light ice cream alongside this bottle.
