2012 Lynmar Estate Rosé of Syrah, Russian River Valley, CA, $25 (S) – Rating 90

Lynmar’s first release of a Syrah rosé is a winner. Dry and tart, the nose is filled with the summer smells of cherry, strawberry and cranberry. Crisp acidity creates a multitude of food pairing possibilities. Flavors of tart cherry, strawberry, red berries and a definite spiciness blend flawlessly into an extremely enjoyable wine.

2012 Lynmar Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA, $25 (S) – Rating 91

Rosé and summertime, a perfect pairing. This Pinot rosé fits the bill with enough body and color to be interesting by itself and juicy acidity to pair with most summer fare including grilled chicken, white meats or salmon. A beautiful nose of cherry, rhubarb and watermelon. Rich flavors of red berries, cherry, strawberry and minerality. Notes of ripe watermelon show through as the wine opens.  Buy This Wine
