2008 Commanderie de la Bargemone Rose Coteaux d’Aix en Provence
On the Front porch after a long week of work. Salmon pink in color. As I swirl it in the glass the pink seems to collect at the edges and the center becomes clear. Glistening in the sun, it is gorgeous. The nose is juicy ripe watermelon at first but fades over to fresh strawberries. Light bodied. On the palate, this has fresh strawberries. Dry, but not bone dry. Refreshing and no hints of bitterness. 13% Alc. $15 Ohio. This was everything it was supposed to be. Not a profound wine, but a profound experience. 50+5+12+17+7=91
