Personal Review: One of the first
things I noticed about the Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence Rose was that it
had an extremely light pink color to it. It was in the middle of a white wine
and a rose. It had a floral nose like many of the other wines I have tasted,
however, it was a different kind of floral. As ironic as this is, it reminded
me of roses. It also had a toasty smell to it that reminded me of warmth. With
such a complex nose to it, I was a bit let down by the taste of the wine. While
I do enjoy when wines have soft tannins, this wine needed a bit more in my
opinion. It felt like it was lacking and I almost felt like I was drinking a
flavored floral water.
