Tasting - "2013 Chataeu Suau Bordeaux Rose"


Name: Chataeu Suau Bordeaux Rose
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Winery Review: "88 points - Stephen Tanzer 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink.  Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose.  Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge.  Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of orange zest."
My Review: 
I've never had a pink colored cabernet sauvignon before so I was enthralled to try this wine. The nose was amazing. It had aromas of raspberries and strawberries. There was only a small hint of white pepper as mentioned in the winery review. The taste was nice, but I wasn't a huge fan of the buttery finish. I tried this wine by itself with no accompanying food.
