Image credit: Vintage Cellar
Name: Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence
Variety: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Cinsault
Region: Provence
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Shop Review:
Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style. Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes. Dry and crisp, with a delicate flavor and full texture.

My Review:
I found this blended white wine sweet on the nose, with a powerful sweet peach aroma that made me excited for this wine. However, on the palate, I found this wine to be dry, and offered a little heat on the mid. The taste was OK, but nothing spectacular.
