Wine Tasting- Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rose
Name: Chateau Suau
Variety: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Winery Review:
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink. Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge. Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of orange zest.
My Review:
Definitely the lightest Cabernet I've ever had. On the nose, I get a lot of berry with just a touch of spiciness. I don't know what white pepper is but there's something there that gives this wine just the slightest kick on the nose. Body wise, surprisingly big considering it's a Rose. Definitely sweet and jammy but not approaching anything close to what the archetypal Cabernet is like which I feel gives it a crisper, and smoother finish that a more concentrated Cabernet just doesn't have.
