Tasting- D’Autrefois Rose de Pinot Noir



Name: D’Autrefois Rose de Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Country: France
Region: Pays d’Oc
Year: 2012
Price: $11.99

Wine Shop Review: This delightful dry Rose is filled with fresh strawberry and cherry aromas. A pleasant acidity balances the fruity palate. Made from 100% Pinor Noir, this medium-bodied Rose should be served chilled with mild cheeses, salmon, or cold appetizers.
My Review: This is the first Rose that I have sampled so far this year. I enjoyed the lightness of the typically very big Pinot Noir grape. It was nice not to have all of the tannins that that grape can normally bring to the table. I got very strong berry smells and tastes in this wine. I thought that there was also some nice acidity to makes sure that there was not too much sweetness. I would try this again in the future with some sort of food.

I did not taste this wine with food.
