Name: Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Year: 2013
Price: $32
Winery review: 90 – Stephen Tanzer
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
Personal review: The nose gave a hint of blossom, strawberry, and raspberry freshness. This wine was very light bodied and crisp. Throughout the palate there were subtle notes of citrus and berries. The finish lingered longer than expected, but it was pleasant with fruit notes. This tasting was not paired with food, but I would eat it with a sharp cheddar or spicy Asian dish.
