A manly dry Rosé full of depth and structure. Belle Glos “Oeil de Perdrix” Pinot Noir Blanc, is perfect as a stand-alone sipper or paired with the likes of grilled salmon or chicken.

2009 St. Rose Pinot Noir, Nunes Vineyard – Ten Block Blend, Russian River Valley, Ca, $38 (S) – Rating 93

A true artisan Pinot Noir. Nunes Vineyards holds back just enough grapes from their respected vineyard to create fewer than 200 cases of wine under the name St. Rose Winery. A beautiful medium-bodied Pinot with complex elements of plum, blueberry, blackberry and spice complimented by a touch of toasty vanilla, light smoky fog and leather. Available by order only St. Rose Winery . Do yourself a favor.

2009 The Crusher Rosé of Pinot Noir, Clarksburg, CA, $12 (S) – Rating 87

The Crusher Rosé is dangerously easy drinking… soft strawberry, spice, rhubarb and raspberry. This is no wimpy thin Rosé. 13% Viognier adds to the depth, structure and complexity. A great patio sipper at a great price that will pair well with lighter fare.
