Vinca Minor Carignan Rosé 2017 Review
Florals and crushed rock, along with melon and honeysuckle greets the nose. There is a slight oxidative quality to the wine, giving it some earthy cannabis tones too. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy with bitter acidity. This is a wine made from 85 year old vines and the balance is great, but those oxidized notes may be an acquired taste.
