Monterey Pinot Noir Rosé
Monterey, Central Coast, California, USA
Golden and salmon pink, excellent clarity. Strawberry cherry and white floral notes in nose. Cherry and orchard fruit flavors. Dry pretty good acidity

Mar 28th, 2021Newish vintage to try. Light gold with pinkish tinge. White floral nose. Strawberry, lemon and orchard fruit flavors. Pink grapefruit and mineral aftertaste. Some bubblegum peeks out after an hour

Cherry, watermelon candy, raspberry, strawberry, slate and hints of lemon. Great acidity and balance.

Apr 2nd, 2019Golden orange pink in color. Strawberry, cherry and peach notes in nose. Peach and cherry flavors in mouth. Fruity, slightly tart, but dry, cherry and slight seed tannin finish. This is a nice, easy drinking Rose, but the same grapes could have gone into a regular red-colored Pinot noir; on some level this is just wrong. But if you must drink Rose, as I did on a warm day in the Arizona desert, this is a superior choice

Just OK. Guess I was expecting something different. I think the old world garnachas, francs and Rhône valley grapes make better roses. At least for my palette. Distinct unripe strawberries sort of overwhelm the senses. At least it is dry

Darker than most roses I typically drink. Love the Pinot notes right out of the gate, cherry and slight vanilla. Pleasantly surprised.

Grocery Store #1: Taste testing under $20 bottles of wine that can be found in the grocery store. Two criteria: sipping and drinking with food. This flunks sipping, kind of soury, especially on day 2. Was ok with food. Skip this wine.
