This wine has a pale pink hue as it sits in the glass. Its nose is very pretty, full of ripe cherries and strawberries and showing hints of honeydew and tangerine. The palate plays a little more to the tart side, with a lovely savory streak to offset the fruit. The acidity is quite lively and fresh. The wine is as elegant as we might expect a rosé of Pinot Noir to be.

This wine has a beautiful and delicate salmon pink color. The nose is extremely expressive, sporting huge whiffs of strawberry and cherry. That big, red fruit appears on the palate, too, with a zippy acidity that refreshes. It is a lean wine, with alcohol checking in just under 12%, so you sip away - and you probably will.

This wine’s nose is really fruity - full of fresh strawberries, cherries and a hint of raspberry. The palate is delish. The fruit dominates, with minerality and citrus peel filling it out. The acidity is bright and fresh, but is just a tad laid back.

Tasty but somewhat cookie cutter. Can tell they use a certain type of yeast.

Picked early 11% (ABV) but a bit too early as the wine is searingly tart and under-fruited.

Nice Pinot noir rose from California. It has a berry taste in the beginning a little fruity taste in the middle and a mineral taste at the end. Not too bad. Pignetti’s $19.99
