It's summer time, which is the appropriate time for blush
wines, and on my last outing, I thought that I would pick up
a classic French release and see if I found any affinity for it.
Well, at best it's middle of the road in flavor, or
really simply sublime. I am tasting the sweetest hint of
strawberries along with just a dab of cherry. It's not too
strong, not too light, but perfect for fruits and cheese.
It's the classic summer sampler.
The mix is 50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault and 10% Syrah. Not
bad, although I am loving blush wines made from some headier
grapes.
