Tasting - Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rose 2013

Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rose 2013
Bordeaux, France
Regular Price: $18
Sale Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "88 points - Stephen Tanzer
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."

Opening with a nice pale, pink color and a light strawberry bouquet, I was interested to try this wine as I have never had a Cab Sauv rose. It was different and contrasted greatly with a normal, red Cab, however, still had a distinct bite to it, normally associated with Cabs. With a dry, lingering peachy finish, this wine wasn't bad, but was not my favorite.
