Tasting - Dom de la Foret Grenache Cinsault Rose de Mediterranée

Name: Dom de la Foret Grenache Cinsault Rose de Mediterranée
Region/Country: Provence, France
Year: 2015
Price: $13-- Sale $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 came in an unusual bottle-- slightly wider and shorter than a regular bottle. It was slightly salmon-pinkish in color and the floral bouquet was exploding on the nose. There was a hint of watermelon flavor on the pallet with spiciness, perhaps black pepper. I would give this wine an 84. I tasted this on its own with no food.
