Wine Review: This dark coral colored wine from Sancerre opens with a strawberry and lime bouquet with hints of tarragon. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is rather dry, round, and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a crusted stone and strawberry blend with notes of light lime, white pepper, and green apple. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would serve this Rose slightly chilled (cool) and then pair it with a strawberry and cucumber salad. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: With a coral pink color with pastel shades, the nose is complex and reveals elegant notes of white fruits (peach) and ripe citrus fruits such as mandarin and clementine embellished with a few strawberry notes. The palate is fresh, juicy and suave. While perceiving notes of blood oranges, we find aromas of rosebud in the finish. A Sancerre that is both crisp and delicious.
