Tasting Notes
"Meant to be juicy and fruit forward, the 2008 Pinot Noir Rosé has exotic aromas of strawberries and orange zest, with subtle floral notes. Flavors of citrus and strawberry, with hints of red licorice and tea leaves, envelope a mouth that's punctuated by juicy and mouth-watering acidity." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

The Place: Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir has a temperamental and fragile nature, making it a challenge from vine to bottle. A notorious failure in many places, Pinot Noir only reveals its brilliance in tiny, specific cool-climate pockets of the world. Russian River Valley is one of them. Cool coastal fog rolls over the vineyards each day and the grapes ripen at a leisurely pace in the moderate climate. Concentrated, small berries literally burst with vibrant flavors and bright acidity, making it ideal for crafting a fresh, juicy rosé wine.
