Tasting - Dom de la Foret

Name: Dom de la Foret

Variety: Grenache Cinsault


Region: Provence

Country: France

Price: $8.95

Winery Review: A stony, pure style, with a warm paving stone note framing the dried cherry and rose water notes. The long, watermelon rind—inflected finish is finely tuned. Shows length and cut, staying lacy in feel. 50% Cinsault and 50% Grenache.

My Review:  This wine presented with a light sweet berry smell, almost like apricots. The color was clear with a hint of gold. The flavor profiled as sweet at first and then turned sour which I enjoyed. This wine had a higher alcohol content as the aftertaste was hot and dry. I also tasted hints of citrus like oranges.
