Tasting - Dom Michel Thomas Pinot Noir Sancerre Rose


Name:  Dom Michel Thomas
Variety:  Pinot Noir Sancerre Rose
Region:  Loire
Country:  France
Year:  2013
Price:  $9
Winery review:  Bright orange-pink.  Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel, and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass.  Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille.  The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence.  {Vintage Cellar notes}
Additional winemaker notes:  This week's wine tasting was a struggle for me - I have a cold, so I can't smell very well.  However, this wine was very fruity, and dry.  Full-bodied.  Not my favorite, it was too dry for me, but then again, I would like to try this one when I'm not sick.  I did not try this wine with food.
