Well, I spend the afternoon blowing leaves, which means it is effectively and officially fall, so why not have a last bit of summer with a bottle of rosé? Tonight, I've opened a bottle of 2024 Weekend À Aix Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rosé that I bought from Wines Till Sold Out this summer. This wine is a blend of Syrah (55%), Grenache (40%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), which portends and interesting wine, so let's see how it's tasting!
The wine is a very pale peach color in the glass, almost Chardonnay like, but we'll overlook that. The nose is just a breath of summer, with aromas of green grass, citrus, peach and a hint of strawberry. Take a sip and you're greeted with an unexpected rush of sweet fruit, peach, honeydew and strawberry, balanced with tart notes of pineapple and citrus, and a bit of buttery smoothness heading into a crisp dry finish that leaves you refreshed.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8, it's nothing to knock your socks off, but it's certainly a pleasant summer wine for just $13. This wine would pair well with summer salads, lighter fish and seafood, or just sipping in the cool of the evening. Tonight, I am enjoying this wine with a crab fest, a giant pile of snow crab legs with drawn butter. Cheers!
