Tasting-Domaine de Mirail Cabernet/ Merlot Rosé


Name: Domaine de Mirail Cabernet/Merlot Rosé
Variety: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot
Region: Côtes de Gascogne
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Shop review: “There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rosé. It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The color of this rosé was light pink (for obvious reasons). It had a strong citrus smell, and definitely had my eyes watering. The after taste was sour, but to me had not distinct flavors preceding this finish.  It was very light, almost like drinking water.  It left my mouth feeling clean and rinsed.

 I drank this without food.
