Tasting - Sean Minor Pinot Noir Rose Vin Gris

Name: Sean Minor Pinot Noir Rose Vin Gris
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Carneros
Country: California
Year: 2013
Price: $20 (Currently on sale at The Vintage Cellar for $8.95)

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: I think that the winery's review was completely off base. On the nose this wine displayed light hints of something floral, like roses, and some strawberry. On the palette this wine was watery, light, and really displayed no taste at all. I wish I would have gotten the taste of their description, because that sounds yummy! However, the wine I tasted was bland. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
