88/100
"A soft wine from this large estate, with a high proportion of Cinsault and Grenache giving red, spicy fruits and bright acidity. This is a floral wine that's fragrant and ready to drink." - Roger Voss
Wine Folly
According to Wine Folly, all of the grapes used in this wine have strong fruit flavors. Cinsault (page 100) in particular resembles the berry and floral notes I found. Intrestingly, Grenache (page 117) was the only varietal that had any citrus notes, which I thought were fairly prominent. I also didn't get too many of the non-fruity notes listed on the Grenache or Syrah (page 172).
Personal Review
This wine's scent wasn't super strong, but it was distinctly rosy with a hint of citrus. The flavor profile was fairly dry with tart berry and lime flavors at the forefront, though there was still some sweetness with a hint of vanilla. It also comes in an eye-catching bottle that accentuates the wine's vibrant salmon color. For $17, it's pretty nice if you're looking for a bright Rosé that isn't too heavy on the sweetness.
