Tasting - Sean Minor Pinot Noir Rose

Name: Sean Minor Pinot Noir Rose

Variety: Vin Gris

Region: Carneros

Country: California

Year: 2013

Price: $8.95

Shop/wine critic/winery 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: The first thing I smelled in this wine was cherry and other berries, possibly strawberry.  The wine was sweeter than expected but had an acidic after taste that lingered.  I did not have this wine with any food.
