Name - Domaine de la Foret Grenache - Cinsault Rose De Mediterranee
Variety - Grenache (50%) & Cinsault (50%)
Region - Provence
Country - France
Year - 2015
Price - $13.00, Sale - $8.95

Wine Store Review - Vintage Cellar
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 - Strawberry jam, rose petals, honeysuckle and honeydew were strong aromas from this wine. It tasted much more stronger on the palate though, more like a deeper cherry or raspberry mixed with grapefruit juice and a ripe watermelon. I did not try this wine with food.
