Critic Review: The Vin Gris is a bright and vibrant salmon color with cherry, strawberry, cranberry and ripe watermelon aromas on the nose. On entry, the wine displays bright strawberry flavors. Throughout the mid-palate and finish, raspberry and cherry fruit characters are balanced with spicy and crisp acidity that linger creating a refreshing and lengthy finish.
My Review: I am a big fan of Rose wines. I had high expectations for this wine, and I was not disappointed. Initially I smelled a nice cranberry, and a little bit of cherry, which was a little bit of a turn off. Upon tasting, I got a huge burst of strawberry, followed by raspberry. I was still able to detect the cherry flavoring in there. My palate was left feeling refreshed.
Overall, I was not disappointed by this wine. I really enjoyed it.
