ساكونيت روزيه من بينوت نوار

The 700ml bottle of this red blend has a surprisingly elegant finish for its price point; I opened it for a casual dinner and it paired beautifully with pasta.

The pour is a lighter red than I expected, but that makes it feel more versatile for a warm evening. It’s a 750ml bottle, so we got two glasses each, and the blend has a soft, fruity finish that pairs well with a simple cheese plate.

I’m usually a red-blend skeptic, but this one’s got a soft, berry-forward finish that made the whole bottle disappear in one evening. The 750ml size was perfect for two, and it stayed bright from the first glass to the last.
