Fruity, austere, and wild. One of the few Rose's you could spot in a lineup - distinct E&M natty twang in a lucid cherry crimson glow, a little bit candied, sour, and herbaceous.

Wild sour cherry, strawberries and cream, and dark green rosemary.

Yes it's light, yes it's Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. And yes I absolutely LOVE this wine for those reasons. I have come to like certain Rose's because they are versatile for food matching and sipping but this Pinot is absolutely great at both. Want to impress a group in summertime with an outstanding, stand alone sipping wine...you found it here. It is fantastic for matching with lighter food faire like barbecued veggies or squash , or for those who are not into matching Chardonnay with chicken or fish like salmon.
My confession: I rarely drank Rose because it was too darn light and often too sweet, so my only next step was Beaujolais, which often way too one dimensional, so that left me with a huge gap to move into traditional Burgundy or full bodied Pinot Noir that were way too overpowering for many meals. This is Exactly why Willamette Valley Pinot has such a superb spot in the spectrum of red wine body/texture. And Big Table Farm is hands down the best wine for value of an Oregon Pinot. Plus the owners are so down to earth real, pleasant, and love talking wine, food, farming, nutrition, etc. I don't mean to make this an ad for Big Table Farm, but they make many great Pinots and other varietals. For the money this particular Pinot is hard to beat and you truly owe it to yourself to seek it out if you are looking for a lighter style Pinot that is increasing quickly in popularity. This is one of my most valued favorites because I am not able or willing to spend $65 or more for a bottle that can disappear in less than an hour with a few friends. — 10 years ago

Perfect summer sipper, dry but not too much, just perfect for sweetness, mildly fruity. A step sweeter than French rose's, would definitely buy again — 4 years ago

There are other Rose's which have more character. At the price point this appears to only have snob value. — 8 years ago

this had to be the surprise of the night. The wind held up after all these years. OMG, they knew how to make wine in Napa way back playing! This gorgeous beast could've been mistaken for a first growth Bordeaux!!!!!!
What a spectacular rockstar it was. Badass in a glass to say the least! I loved it and he just happened to be Shawn Rose's birth year Wine!!
Great birth year bud!!!!! This really held its own I'm on the Titans that we drink this evening. It was my only bottle but I will be sourcing some more within the near future to say the least. The only thing better was our company this evening! Thank you for making a trip down from Texas! Your motto is go big or go home so I had to pull out all the stops this evening!!!!! @Shawn R @Christine Christine and I loved seeing you. We will definitely repay the favor!!!!! I'm sure your Texas barbecue will make for some great badass pairings! — 9 years ago

So lately, we have been on a champagne kick. Tonight a 1/2 bottle of the Billicart and Ruinart Rose's to see which we prefer. The truth is they are both very solid and score similarly. The Ruinart is a little brighter with mid red fruits and the Billicart has slightly better light red fruits w/ vanilla biscuits. The chalkiness in both is spectacular as is the acidity. The Billicart has a strawberry, cherry cream soda flavor I love that the Ruinart does not. Both finish; ripe, rich, round w/ a finish that doesn't stop. You can't go wrong with either. You only need to decide which leans toward your palate or preference. — 10 years ago

This was great. Had it at Rose's. I imagine this is what cherry coke would taste like after you dipped a red hot poker in it -- smokey tannins, ripe cherry, some vanilla oak softening things up. — 9 years ago

Really like the subtle aspects of this rose. The delicacy of this rose I really like considering how powerful Muga's tempranillo's and most Spanish rose's in general. — 10 years ago

Really good summer wine! Not as fruity as other rose's and on the drier side. Delicious!
