So, normally I can't or won't drink a Rose wine. The main reason is because I've turned into a wine snob, and all I can think of is White Zinfadel(gross). Compare it to Miles in Sideways yelling that he is going to leave if anyone is drinking effing Merlot..haha..well that is me with White Zin. Well, anyways, a few days ago, I received a French Rose for my passport program, and figured I'd give it a whirl. This was a 2007 Cabernet D'Anjou, made of 100% Cabernet Franc and produced in the Loire Valley in France. I have never actually tried a wine made up of 100% Cab. Franc; usually, the wines I've had are blends including the Cab. Franc, so I was really curious. I was very pleasantly surprised with this wine, and this is now my SECOND favorite wine after the Moscato D'Asti. It tasted NOTHING like White Zin. It was actually very peppery, not too sweet, and had a very pleasant hint of cherries and vanilla. I highly recommend it, and if you wanted to order some through TTV, the sku is LOI099. It's $17.99 a bottle..a great value for a gold medal winner. Just look how pretty it is!
