Name: Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Loire
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $32, sale price $8.95

Wine Critic Review: Stephan Tanzer, 90
"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:
This wine smelled of sweet flowers and had hints of orange and strawberry. It definitely was not as sweet as I was anticipating. It had a bit of a bitter punch that lingered in the aftertaste. I did not taste this wine with food.
