Tasting - Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence

Name: Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence
Variety: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault blend
Region: Provence
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95
Review: Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style. Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes. Dry and crisp, with a delicate flavor and full texture.

My Review: This wine had a sweet fruit smell, perhaps with a strawberry scent. I was really taken aback by the dryness of the wine, and it was very off-putting. I did taste some of the floral notes mentioned in the above review.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
