Touraine Rosé Blend

Super weird blend of Gamay, Cab Sauv, and Malbec from Loire. The wine itself isn't as interesting as the grapes in it though. It's crisp and dry with tart fruit and minimized mineral tone.

Cherries, sea breeze, flowers, and perhaps a subtle herbal note. On the palate: cherry, watermelon, lemon with medium acidity and a slight red fruit confected note on the end.
Well made and drinkable but not particularly memorable. For the price, I'll skip this next time.

Porch pounding Rose. Watermelon, strawberry, light cream. Dry finish. Nice Loire Rise.

Nothing special. Feel like the winemaker created a menagerie if grapes they had in the basement. Better rose out there...by the volume. When we are all stuck inside, you can find better rose.

Not bad but tannin finish took away from the initial taste.

Beautiful balance of acidity and creaminess on the mid palate.

Good quality to price rose, with good berry notes and crisp acidity.

Belle robe. Clair. Légèrement pale et reflets marrons.
Belle présence en bouche. Fin de bouche grasse.
