Tasting - "Dom de la Foret Grenache Cinsault"

  • Name: Dom de la Foret
  • Variety: 50% Grenache 50% Cinsault
  • Region: Provence 
  • Country: France 
  • Year: 2013
  • Price: Regular Price $13 Sale Price $8.95
  • Vintage Cellar 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: The wine is a nice light peach color. On the nose the there is the fruity smell of peaches, apricots, and nectarines. There is also a tropical fruit smell of mangos. There is a flowery smell with honey mixed with all fruit flavors. On the palate the wine is very dry and mouth puckering. There is a slight apple tart flavor that is like granny smith apples. But there is no other real fruit flavors detected which is disappointing as the smell of the wine was amazing and the taste did not deliver. 
  • Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
