The Great Oregon Wine Rose City 2016

Pretty, light pink and purple hues on the visual. The nose offers flavors of tart cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry. The ripe nature of the fruit is accented gently by a combination of clean earth and delicate herbs.

The palate is medium bodied with fruits of white peach, ripe cherry, and strawberry. The texture is rich, yet the body is moderate and finishes dry with lingering flavors of spice, flowers, and mineral. This wine shows a pleasant balance of forward fruit flavors with a quaffable style and texture.

Simple and light, this all-Pinot Noir rosé offers dilute flavors of pink grapefruit and strawberries. It's finished dry and goes down cheerfully, though there's a suggestion of bitter gunmetal in the finish.
