Sonoma-Cutrer Winemaker's Release Rosé of Pinot Noir 2019 750ML

Rosé from Russian River, Sonoma County, California

Notes from the Winemaker

This dry rosé seems like an import from Provence. Tangy fruit meets crisp acid. It has layered flavors, with notes of strawberry, watermelon, raspberries and mineral. Delicate and refreshing, this rosé is striking.

Exquisite rosé wines are known for being both beautiful and delicate; this 2019 vintage is a shining example as to why Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley makes exceptional rosé. In the glass, the wine reveals a gorgeous, peony blush color and opens up to aromas of wild strawberry and pink grapefruit. On the palate, you will find the crisp flavor of watermelon, a hint of powdered sugar, and just a slight glimmer of hibiscus tea. Bright acidity and fresh fruit carry all the way through rounding out to a crisp, lingering finish of tropical and citrus fruits.  This wine is summer in a bottle and ready to enjoy now!
